ESB & High Flocculant Yeast

I recently brewed up a Norther Brewer ESB extract kit. It behaived differently from the other couple of beers I've made so I have a couple of questions.

The Yeast is described as highly flocculant top-fermenting.... What if any are the characteristics of highly flocculant yeast that I might need to know?

The kit was rated as an OG of 1.047. I measured 1.040 after brewing and

1.010 after about 4 days. It maintained this sg for about two weeks through 2 stage fermentation. Kept bubbling mildly, more briefly if I moved the carboy. I noticed this batch was not near as active the first few days. It only blew off about a pint as opposed to almost 2 quarts measured on an Irish Brown I last brewed.

At bottling time (day 17) it tasted like it would be good when finished. I don't expect all beers to be equal just trying to understand how my observations from this batch compared to the others and what if anything this means.

Thanks! BK
