Another solicitation for advice. :)

I would like to employ some sugars in my next batch of bitters, and have been contemplating a 1:1 use of high quality turbinado and light brown sugar for a caramel/butterscotch flavor. After reading about fermenting with numerous types of sugars, it seems like this may be a decent match, but I also see that molasses (dark) appears to impart a nice caramel-like flavor as well.

Can anyone share any sugar blending experiences that might shed some light on the subject?

Peace,

Molasses tastes like molasses to me. It's pretty overpowering and doesn't taste like caramel to me. Why not just boil up some caramel syrup and use that?
