2-Row Caramel Malt 60L; Briess
Sweet, Pronounced Caramel. Characteristics & Applications: • In contrast to Brewers Malt, glassiness is a distinguishing characteristic of Caramel Malt. The glassy endosperm creates the desirable non-fermentable components giving true Caramel Malt the ability to contribute body (mouthfeel), foam foam retention, and extended beer stability, while contributing color and unique caramel flavor. • 2-Row Caramel Malt 60L is a roasted caramel malt that imparts deep golden to red color. • Use 3-7% for Pilsener-style beers for balance. • Use 5-15% to provide color, sweetness and color to amber and red beers. • Produced from AMBA/BMBRI recommended 2-Row Malting Barley varieties.

Transfered to kegs. Good beer with "peculiar" taste. Bit too much roasted making it more stout-like.
Not Old Peculiar, but still a nice beer

Well after a week in the keg its drinkin time. Beautiful clear Red/Black beer. Yes it too dark for an Old Ale, but the molasses flavor I was looking for comes through nicely. The Scottish ale yeast rounds this one out nicely providing a malty finish. Sort of a mix between and Old Ale and a Strong Stout
