I have this recipe fermenting now. I split the wort into three fermentors- two one gallon batches one with the White labs yeast and the other with a package of saflager W-34/70. I'll bottle these two for doing a side by side comparison. The rest of the wort went into a bigger fermentor and will be kegged when ready.
Tasting notes for the liquid yeast, kegged batch. Very nice malt flavor. Maybe a tad too toasty, but the biscuity malt flavor is very good. Carbonation is pretty light, even after a month in the keg. There is a mild sourness that has mellowed over time which is my only real complaint about this beer. I need to investigate that. I don't know if it is yeast related or fermentation related or hops related.
