strange phenomenom

I just tapped the 2nd keg of porter I brewed a little while back. The first keg blew and I transferred the line to the 2nd keg out of the fermenter. I like the 2nd keg much better and cannot understand why. It seems much fuller bodied and the head is darker. I may not have noticed had I not had a glass from both back to back. I filled both kegs from one fermenter at the same time and don't know what would have caused the beer from one keg to the other to be different. Has anyone ever experienced something like this? I am stumped.

A bit of aging does wonders to most dark beers, even in the keg.

Maybe that's what did it. It's been in the keg at 32F for 5-6 weeks. Whatever it is that happened I'm happy.

I typically find that the last few beers in a keg are the very best ones only to hear it kick shortly afterwards.

Theres a cure for that. They call it getting another chest freezer and controller and leaving the keg in there at low temps for a couple months. Its got an acronym in Scottish, Leave At Go E' Right?

That sounds good, but with very limited time for brewing that's much easier said than done.
