Kiln Coffee Malt - Any Good Recipes?

[Brewsmith]

My LHBS started carrying Kiln Coffee Malt so I picked up a couple pounds. I have seen it before but never tried it. Anyone have any good recipes using it?

I am going to be making a series of dark English beers, so I figure I can do something along the lines of an English Bitter/Mild/Brown and use a good amount of the malt to get a feel for it. I'll post a tentative recipe in a bit.

Here is a possible recipe for the Kiln Coffee malt. It's basically an Best Bitter with a half pound of the Kiln Coffee Malt added. Style wise it's too dark for a bitter and too bitter for a mild. Northern English Brown seemed to fit by the numbers, but is not necessarily where it fits flavor wise. It doesn't really matter anyways.

I'v used it in place of Chocolate in a basic stout recipe. Coffee notes were very noticeable. It ended up being a very good beer.

Bumpity bump, I'm wondering the same thing about coffee malt. Who else has used it, how much did you use and how strong was the taste/aroma. If possible I would rather use malt instead of introducing coffee beans.
