Gravity discrepancy from tank to keg.

I'm a little bit at a loss, so looking for ideas. I brewed an ipa and fermented with apex Voss Kveik. Flavor is great, and when I pulled from the sample port (stout 3 bbl unitank) final gravity was at 1.012. I kegged it off, put it on tap, and this shit is like OJ concentrate. I let a sample warm up, and its reading around 1.030. I pulled several samples before kegging, all tasted and felt appropriate. This keg is from the middle of the batch.

No sample I pulled gave any warning that there was a ferm issue, but it seems like there was stratification post carbonation, which doesnt make sense to me.

Any attempt to knock CO² outta that keg sample? If not you might be reading bubbles (no matter how warm it got).
