I'm intreagued by this malt, I've heard people rave about its strong but delicious flavours. Unlike any other amber malt
Its the key part of Dogfish Head 60 and 90minuate ipas, which i understand are just MO and TW Amber malt. I've also heard its great in bitters?
Has anyone used it successfully? Got any great recipes where it shines?
I was considering using it in a Best bitter or a US Amber with some caramalt to sweeten it up.

Hey up!
I've used it in a Fuller's 1845 clone (from the Can You Brew It?) podcast. This is 80% pale, 10% crystal and 10% amber (Simpson's is specified but I used Amber from the Worcestor Hop Shop (Fawcett's?)). Bottled in Feb and had a couple of tasters and I think it's a great beer. I'll be doing a side by side tasting in a few weeks against the original 1845 to see how it stands up in a direct comparison.
Recipe here
Have also used it in a couple of porters which works well.
No idea how it would it go in a bitter.
Don't know if I've helped or clouded the issue!
Cheers!
