Not that I noticed. :D I had to think for a minute what you were asking.

Ok, I'll bite, what the hell are you talking about? Is "Barnyard Flatulence" a particularly virulent strain?

Hah, I was hoping someone from Sunday's BJCP class would chime in before everyone thinks I'm a nutcase.

We were studying Sour Ales; see http://www.bjcp.org/2008styles/style17.php If you look at the description of Straight Lambic, 17D, it describes some the aroma "... as barnyard, earthy, goaty, hay, horsey, and horse blanket."

Oh, so are you saying that after consuming straight lambic your "emissions" have a somewhat barnyard aroma or did you just get hold of a bad bagel over the weekend?

There was definitely some residual barnyard aroma.

I didn't notice any, but I think I've been inoculated already.

The aroma we were thinking we were smelling is called "enteric." It's not a desirable aroma, but at low levels it is acceptable in a lambic. Of course, we weren't sure that is what we smelled. We just thought it might be.
Is your beer intimate, hand crafted, and artisanally made?
