Too roast Mild?

[marchio-93]

Hi everybody! What do you think about this recipe for a Mild? I have no experience in ""dark"" malts, so I'd like to try Cara aroma (2%) and carafa special 3 (1.4%)! I'd like to have a little taste of roast

Base malt. Some brown, mild or amber malt... or a combination. Some crystal 40, 60 or 80. Maybe a bit of chocolate or pale chocolate malt. And invert sugar. Those are the ingredients I use to make a mild.

Thanks! For the base I used an amber malt, then crystal, then for the roasty malt I prefered a not burnt one, so I put carafa with a bit of Cara aroma. I don't know the result

Try pale chocolate. It gives a smooth roast character. Almost like a butterscotch but without the sweet.

In which percent? And what is butterscotch
