Has anyone tried this?
Steve at my LHBS says it is new to the US and they have just recently started selling it. I tried a sample and it is quite interesting. My first impression was of caramel but as I tasted more I was getting licorice tones. I think this syrup will add a lot of complexity to beers. From what I've read and been told, It could be the secret ingredient to making great Belgian style beers. It is however fairly expensive at $7.95 for a 16 oz bottle.
Steve talked me into replacing the molases in my porter that I'm brewing tomorrow with the syrup.
Here are some links to more information on Belgian Candi Syrup. It sounds like the syrup could become very popular to home brewers.
