Belgian Candi Sugar Aromatic Dark

[monkeybrewer]

Has anyone used this sugar in a brew? If so at what %? I'm looking to impart a slight molasses flavor and use the addition instead of crystal malt for a colonial era brew. Has anyone had any luck getting molasses character from this sugar? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

Dark vs. light

We've used both the light and the dark candy sugar in various belgian brews. Usually 55 lbs in a 7bbl batch. I've never noticed any additional flavor or color contribution from the darker sugar vs. the lighter sugar. No aroma difference either.

why not just use molasses? Its probably cheeper too.

Or turbinado sugar? I've used that in IIPA's and its amazing.
