Riddle of why the barrel stout finished at 1.007

[admin]

Had a look under the scope this evening at what was in the settled dregs at the bottom of a bottle. I can see plenty of regular yeast, but I can't see anything out of the ordinary. Certainly nothing that looks like (my notion of) Brett and no bacteria.

Does it taste/feel like 1.007?

I'd be looking at the person who has been looking after the barrel. Maybe doing the old butler's trick of syphoning off and replacing with water. A lot.
