This looks very similar to my Chocolate, Vanilla, Coffee Stout, had the same minor film and odd looking bubbles on top but turned out fantastic, no off flavors. i'd say let it ride.

Alright, you have all talked me into it! i will use the bread yeast and up the honey and up the spices! Thanks again, i just needed the push to do it right!

Wow!, that is crystal clear, that is what i AM looking for. I'm not sure why i dont want to use bread yeast, i guess because i'm looking for a more updated product? i guess i'm really not sure.
