would have to be a stout in any quantity...
Have you thought of feeding Pigeons with it?
Replace Crystal with it in a few brews, could be an acquired taste

I have made several brews in the past using up to 2lb of amber malt, 1.5lbs of crystal, 2oz black malt and 17lb of pale malt. Usually I hopped with challenger and Goldings. To make 10 gallons. My notes say they were very good beers.

Make some brown porter along the line of Fuller's London Porter. I just love the stuff and there is a good dose of amber malt in there. I don't know that I would substitute it for crystal malt, it is not sweet in my opinion, more roasty is a very unique sort of way.

The durden park book has several recipes with lots of amber - 15%+ in some cases from memory, but you need to mature them for a good few months - OGs are typically about 50-70.

Replacing crystal with amber does work well, or adding in small quantities to a usual bitter recipe - it's a very distinctive taste. It does work well in porters and stouts also.
