[THC] Effect of fermenting lager yeast @ too high a temp?

[samoll33 at gmail.com]

Question to the group.  

I WAS fermenting a lager with Munich lager yeast (55 max temp) until I found my fridge isn't working.   Its currently @ 70 deg F.  There has been activity, enough to bubble the airlock.  

At this point what are my options to save the oktoberfest?  I guess ill sample it in a few days before secondary and see what's going on.    If its just going to be way fruity/estery for this I could probably live with it. 

Comments/suggestions?

Thanks.

FYI

Just saw on Lafayette Brewing Company's web page that this Thursday 9/24 is Firkin Thursday.  They have a one-time batch of Espresso Oatmeal Stout which is their Black Angus Oatmeal stout infused with Killer Beans Espresso from K. Dees coffee. 

It's on the second floor, also with a performance by Al Gerth (7 to 9)
