This yeast is a monster! Make sure to set a blow off on this one.
I let it bottle condition for four weeks at 70F which produced a nice 1/2 inch head that subsided into the beer rather quickly when served in my Orval goblet. Best served between 55-60F. Full of dark plum and raisin flavors with the coriander coming through at the end. The alcohol is a little hot but not a kick in the face. I used homemade invert sugar that I cooked to a deep red and then crystallized and stored in the freezer. Dark Candi would be fine as well.
