Dark colour, no flavour?

[RobWalker]

How can it be done? I know brewer's caramel is a way of darkening with no flavour addition, but any others?

I'd like to try and trick some of my friends with a dark lager that tastes light...

black malt don't need much to alter the colour, surprising the difference 20g of black malt will make to the colour.

I had a bottle of Magic Rock Black IPA the other week.
It's brewed local to me. I think they said they took the husks off the black malt so they got the black colour but not the flavour.
It was as black as stout.
Super bitter, though, but too strong for me.

There are specialist malts for doing basically just this, look into carafa special malts
