What kind of yeast did you use?

bump for the question (i am making this today i think)

Yea I know, another freaking Pumpkin beer, but I thought I'd sell out and try it for myself. Here's the recipe for a 2.5 gal batch, I brewed it this evening and it tasted amazing. I'm going to age a gallon in vanilla beans/ cinnamon sticks and another gallon in Cocoa nibs. Feedback is...

I'm in!
