Just curious, do you get any roastiness from the biscuit and chocolate malt?

I had an amber this summer when I went to California that had a subtle hint of roast in it.
The beer was brewed by 21st Amendment, called Roasted American...

Cheers and thanks!!

No real roastiness. I do get a little breadiness, but they are mainly there to help with the color
