Brown...umm...gunk in Dreadnaught?

I received a Dreadnaught in the mail today (Thanks Chris!) and as I was pouring it, I noticed a brown sludge inside the neck of the bottle. I'm sure it's not harmful. I'm just wondering. Any info on what it could be?

yeast sediment?

Probably yeast, but you may have gotten a geriatric bottle. Not a whole lot o' stuff settled out in the fresh bottles of Dreadnaught.

It's poison.

This is why FFF needs to date their bottles. I'm basically afraid to buy the Dreadnaught that I see at the local bottle shops because I've seen them there for the last couple months- though I don't know if they're being replenished or not.

I've never had Dreadnaught, so I don't know what it tastes like old or fresh, but it's definitely leaving something to be desired.

I agree, I see it at the store all the time but I've never bought it. I've only had it when friends have bought it. three Floyd's make amazing beer but they need to get their bottle dating situated.

I love FFF, I dont understand why people love this beer. <Personal Tastes blah blah blah>

Damn....I guess we leave FFF out of future trades unless it's a new release. Or they start dating. Sorry about that.

Old hop chunks can look brown also, especially after being soaked in malt and yeast.

One lucky bottle was spiked with brown sludge. The winner receives a fresh bottle of Dreadnaught.

Just chew through.

Or if you chew tobacco, just throw it in as a fat lipper!

I experienced a similar substance in two bottles of Port's Santa's Little Helper. Not sure what it is, but it can ruin the beer drinking experience.

Surprised nobody has made a "slug" joke like that guy with the serria nevada

It's a combo of yeast resin and hop sediment, in the neck of the bottle because whatever shop it was at had it sitting on its side. Even though it's unattractive that sediment actually contains a lot of vitamin B12. More B12 = less of a hangover, there's always a silver lining. Cheers gents.
