Wyeast 1450 Denny’s Favorite 50
This terrific all-round yeast can be used for almost any beer style, and is a mainstay of one of our local homebrewers, Mr. Denny Conn. It is unique in that it produces a big mouthfeel and accentuates the malt, caramel, or fruit character of a beer without being sweet or under-attenuated.

Has the malty flavor I was aiming for.

If you like fruity IPA's, this isn't for you. Has a hint of vanilla and Kona coffee. I will probably use more Kona coffee next time I brew this.
Unique IPA

Tried this last night. I could taste the coffee which added to the hoppy stout taste. Different kind of IPA, but Delicious.
