Made this beer and ts very tasty but the beer I'm trying to clone has a bit more toffee / caramel tones. SRM is pretty much there.
Looking for suggestions fr a bit more of this toffee / caramel flavor. Double the C-60 or maybe a pound of a darker one like C-100/120 ?

Hmmmm..... My ability to pull out flavors from a beer is not as fine tuned as some (or some who claim they can ;) ). Perhaps it's the Special B I'm tasting in the targeted beer. I like a lot of the notes in mine but after a side by side I notcied it was lacking in that area and I bet the Special B would get me there.
Thanks Yooper! :mug:
