Notes
This batch got contaminated with some sort of wild yeast.  I noticed a film on the surface of the beer towards the end of storage, and there was a distinct note of rubber or band-aids.  I bottled anyway, and the flavor didn't go away, though it did diminish and change over time.  I will have to make this again.
