I have searched this topic and it seems like other brewers have encountered a high abundance of phenols from 1214 especially at higher temps.

My recent brew with this yeast had a very band aid smokey phenolic finish. I can tolerate small phenolic flavor in Belgian beer but this overwhelms to balance of this beer. I pitched in the lowers 60's and let it free rise to ambient temp around 68-72.

Is anybody else getting these results?

If not what temps have you had success with this yeast?
