Just kegged and carbonated (lightly) an Irish Stout, but it’s tasting kind of low on flavor…

I’m thinking of adding oak or coffee beans (or both) in a bag in the keg to try and add some more flavor.

Please either talk me down, advise on amounts and time, or advise me on better options!

It’s good enough that I wouldn’t toss it, but not good enough for me to not want to save it…

    Could you describe what you mean by low on flavour? Is it sweet? Does it lack body / texture? Is it not bitter enough? Are you lacking roast flavours?

    Assuming the latter. You could make a black patent tea and add it in. Might be a bit hash if fermentation is over, but it could work!
