I am preparing to brew a milk stout. One of the ingredients is Special B Malt. My supplier doesn't appear to stock this so I am wondering what an alternative would be.
 
Dark crystal yes, chocolate malt no. When you taste Special B it's like super crunchy caramelised sugar and is very moreish. I love it.

That chart suggests Special W as an alternative and that's more like a biscuit malt.
 
How much does the recipe call for? If it's only a very small percentage you could just skip it. Personally I wouldn't use it.
