I have heard about kits that you can buy which help you identify off tastes in beer.
I believe they comprise off various bottles of chemicals from which you add a few drops to a bland beer and then taste.
Does anyone have any experience of these kits and know where I could get something like this please?
Where can I get an 'Off taste' kit?

I think what you're looking for is FlavorActiv: http://www.flavoractiv.com/drinks/beers/enthusiast-kit/
Alternatively the kits here, albeit for whisky, have a lot of the aromas that are common to beers, faults and all. http://www.whisky-academy.com/
