I am of the mindset that even though traditional beer is good and doesn't need to have anything about it changed, I like to experiment. My current mad scientist idea is from one of my favorite UK Treats....English Toffee.
I was wondering if anyone would have some ideas that would make this taste of toffee and almonds but not sickeningly sweet.
I was thinking about using a pound of carmalized sugar and some roasted Almonds and then bumping up the hops to reduce the final presence of the caramel. Any words of wisdom or ideas would be helpful. not looking for a very high ABV but I think somewhere in the range of 4.5 to 6 percent would offset the sweetness of the caramel.
