A friend asked me if I could brew up a toffee flavored beer. They want it to taste like a heath bar!! I have done a little research on here and I am looking for a few suggestions. I am thinking I am either going to make a standard porter or a milk stout (to get the creamyness and sweetness of a candy bar). Other than that the ideas for the toffee are difficult to determine what will work.
One poster recommended taking table sugar, spreading it out on a baking sheet and baking it in the oven until it melts and starts to brown. The longer you bake it, the more flavor you will get.
Another poster recommended cooking a sugar water mixture to create caramel and adding that to the beer.
I assume I am also going to have to up the crystal malts (probably C120 since I have it on hand) to get some flavor that way as well.
What would be the best way to create this sort of flavor? Are there any other malts that would be helpful? I am not very familiar with them all so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
