Wyeast 1469 (West Yorkshire Ale) for Yooper's Oatmeal Stout?

[MrBJones]

Wyeast's description sounds like it might be just right. What do you think? Have you used it for anything?

1469 is my go to English yeast. It's a strong fermenter and I mash at 156* for bitters and milds to get a good body. I like my stouts and IPA's on the dry side and do those at 150* with a reverse step to 143* over 90 min. The higher the OG the more likely it will be that a blow off is needed.
I make overbuild starters and this one is in the fridge.

I just used it in a brown ale with a semi-open ferment and beat the yeast back into the beer. Turned out great and attenuated well. I think it would work just fine in an oatmeal stout

I use this in my oatmeal stout and it fits the style perfectly, IMO. It does give off esters, so it didn't do well in comp, but it's one my favorite beers I brew.
