My beers have benefited greatly from 2-3 weeks in the fridge. They are best 60-90 days after the initial brew, but are still great tasting after a year. This gives enough time for the yeast to finish their work and come to rest in the bottom of the bottle.

Perhaps the flavor was imparted by the crystal 40, but it was only 10% of the batch, so I'm not sure that is the cause. It certainly could be a different strain.

I often use Thames Valley yeast in my bitters, and never have experienced that type of taste. I am wondering if the Wyeast and White Labs version of these yeasts aren't slightly different. Hmm.

I was going to try it out in a pale but it sounds like it would do well in a porter. BTW: In your attenuation lines you say your OG was X, I suspect you mean FG since starting at 1.008 or 1.010 would be pretty bad mash efficiency Good to know about this yeast.
