Could be something to do with the cup being metal, I know glass is chemically neutral so it doesn't impart any flavours but metal might not be the same?

I've always liked the taste of beer from a metal tankard. I hate most/all beers made in green glass, it's much better in brown - omething to do with brown glass keeping out light that affects the beer?

that will be cause most stuff in green glass is Lager :eek: not Beer

Lager dosnt like Pewter tankards and it turns to shaving foam :D
proper Warm flatish beer is fine

it was a 12 year old single malt :),
the cup on the volcano stove is aluminum i think not sure tho

Sound like they sold you the 12 Volt version :eek:

I guess the aluminium might have affected it but also what had previoiusly been in the volcanoe cup. Possibly some food/drink stuff wasn't too water soluble but was alcohol soluble?

I was just being silly, after your initail post said it was like licking a 9 volt battery then it was a 12 year old malt. Volt and malt rhymed using the accent I had in my head. Sorry for the confusion.
