I used Wyeast 1275 in a SMaSH English-style IPA last year, and I really liked the yeast. It had some nice esters that complimented the hop character. I was going to use it in the sweet stout I made recently, but my LHBS was out, so I used Wyeast 1099 Whitbred ale instead (tasting results pending). I think the 023/1275 is worth a try.
