White Labs WLP004 Irish Stout
White Labs WLP004 Irish Stout
This is the yeast from one of the oldest stout producing breweries in the world. It produces a slight hint of diacetyl, balanced by a light frui|iness and slight dry crispness. Great for Irish ales, stouts, porters, browns, reds and a very interesting pal

Looked good, appropriate color. Very cloudy. Still slightly sweet with an aftertaste/smell of oatmeal. Very smooth feel. I'll probably leave it in the Secondary for a good while to get the Oatmeal particles to settle out a bit. Might cold condition it later too if need be.
