I made a Scottish Wee Heavy yesterday. O.G. 1.074. 1.8L Yeast starter made ~18 hrs. prior.

Cooled the wort to ~ 78°F. Pitched the starter at its high krausen and needed a blow-off tube 12 hours later.

Ambient temperature of the room is about 72°F

What can I expect for off flavors?

Being held above the recommended range, I'd expect some higher alcohols and solvents. Considering how malty the wee heavy is, most of it may blend in.

I'll bet it tastes great. But might give you a headache, maybe.

Okay. I just figured due to the higher fermentation temperatures, I would get some unwanted off flavors. I was wondering if anyone else had a similar situation with the strain.
