Does anyone have any experience using Mangrove Jack's M03 UK Dark Ale yeast? I am curious how it is in a Wee Heavy.
 
I really like it but you get a low attenuation. Great fruity esters resembling prunes and candied morellos. Good body and mouthfeel, doesn't come across as sweet even if the attenuation is around 60-65%. Just make sure to add some additional fermentables to compensate. Btw, what I love the most is that the esters have no pear / peach or spice.

It would actually be a great yeast for a traditional strong Scottish ale (e.g., OG 1.090, pale malt and dark invert sugar, 55% attenuation). No silly made up wort reduction required!
