I'm throwing this one out to more experienced palates than mine.
I've only done a couple of beers using the Safale S04 strain - and I get a distinct "taste" from it. I will hopefully describe it and get someone to help me with the correct terms etc.
Basically the smell of the beer is great, and clarity is excellent. Taste is spot on - very crisp and clean. I take a nice mouthful, and after swallowing I get a strange taste/smell - very much at the back of my palate and in my nose. Very distinct and I can usually pick an S04 beer by doing this.
So - what is it that I'm getting?
I also ask becuase I just put a stout in my fermenter and pitched Wyeast 1099, which I've now read is very similar to the S04 strain and I'm wondering if I'll get the same sort of thing in this beer.
