Here is a recipe I have used using Amber malt . It was in 1992 so my recollections of the outcome are a little hazy ! 9 lb crushed pale malt 9 ounces amber malt 2 ounces Fuggles + 1 ounce Goldings (2 hours) 1 ounce Goldings (20 min ) 1 ounce Goldings after boil had finished in lieu of dry hopping. Looking through the records I still have , most of the time I used Amber malt as a sort of halfway Crystal malt , replacing the Crystal with twice the weight of Amber. I remember a nice biscuity taste. But for a few dark brews I used quite a high percentage.
