Off flavors from yeast cake?

[Danbreeze]

I am currently brewing a barleywine using White Labs Super High Gravity Yeast (WLP099). I was thinking about brewing a strong Imperial Stout this weekend and transferring it on top of the yeast cake from the barleywine.

My question is: will the stout have off flavors from the yeast/trub left behind? Is it better to only transfer the same beer style onto a yeast cake?

It is recommended that you don't reuse yeast that has come from a high alcohol environment. The yeast get pretty stressed from all that work. Even though it is a high alcohol strain I wouldn't risk it.

What kind of off flavors would you get from strained yeast?
