Anybody tried that? I often make invert on the side when boiling the wort. It would be easy to take out half a litre of wort or so at that point, prior hopping.

The additional amino acids and what nots should make an interesting base for additional maillard reactions when boiling the invert.

Maybe skipping the acid would also be an idea? Basically making candi syrup from sugar and wort and not inverting it?

I see I see.... There seems to be an urgent need for further experimentation.

I will probably do two sirups sisde by side with the same sugar and the same wort. Only difference, one will be boiled with baking soda to make it basic, the other one with lemon juice to make it acidic (which later might be neutralised with baking soda).
