S-04 at 72F

Anyone know what S-04 (I used a ginormous over-pitch, aka full yeast-cake yesterday afternoon) does at 72F? I forgot to swap out ice jugs this morning in the swamp cooler.

When I checked on it just now, I see the temperature is at 72F. Smell seems pretty normal for a big chocolatey 1100+ wort fermenting, but kinda worried...

It turns out superbly clean and dare-I-say lager-like. You'll love it. No ice jugs required.

The exact same thing that happens at 64: delicious ale with a faint tangy raw biscuit dough element.

For the record, I get none of that. Maybe 20 years ago. Not in the last 10 years.
