Primewith black treacle

[nobbyhigo]

Hi all i have 2 batches of stout ready for kegging a hbc stout and a guiness clone i pinched off the web .
The thought is to prime with black treacle to add a liquorice aftertaste to it has anyone tried this does it / will it make any difference to priming with sugar.

I primed a poachers choice clone with licorice and black syrup, tasted lovely. I'll dig out the recipe for amounts. I also added it to my last stout at flameout. Again, cracking taste to it.

Have a look at this. In there is a chart giving equivalent weights.

I've added star anise towards the end of the boil. That was nice. Same for black treacle. I don't think priming with black treacle is going to add much, especially in a flavourful stout.

Edit: I could be wrong. MM's link looks interesting.

I added some liquorice at flameout so might just leave it to that
Or as i am minikeging may try one with treacle and see if there is any difference
