I have a bottle of certified organic blackstrap molasses that I want to prime my pumpkin ale with, but before I do, I want to know what kind of flavor, if any, the molasses will impart when it is used for priming.
My second choice is Organic Grade B Maple syrup. SWMBO chose the molasses over the maple syrup. I thought maple would be a nice addition along with the pumpkin spices, but SWMBO wanted to try molasses, and I'm not willing to split the batch and try both this go around.
I want this to turn out well, as I will be taking some of this to family in Boston for the holidays. I have never primed with either Maple or Molasses.
Bear in mind that this is a pumpkin ale:
What would you opinion be, Molasses, or Maple Syrup?
What flavors will the Molasses impart when used for priming?
Any thoughts as always are greatly appreciated.
