This is a reliable yeast

Just did a improve imperial stout a few weeks ago, With all the new and upcoming yeast available for the homebrewer this one delivers a great Taste, I've tried different lagers in the past.And obviously this is not a logger but it gives you a clean taste

Yeast

Honestly my box delivered mostly destroyed. Everything in it was fine except the yeast which the pack was already puffed. Never had the issue clearly something happened in transit. In fairness the yeast performed ok. Was hoping for a little more attenuation

Used the 1056

The yeast came in. Hot weather and I was not sure it was still good finally added safe 05 to insure fermentation .
I. Had the same problem with yeast 1272 and had to use more 05 to insure fermentation, will probably only use dry yeast in future.
