Special Roast

[Corey]

I am planning to brew an American Brown Ale in the near future. The recipe I was planning to use calls for "Special Roast". A U.S. website provides the following description:

"Imparts a "biscuit" flavor. 50 Lov. Distinctive orange-red'ish color. Excellent for nut brown ales (5-10%), porters (5-10%)"

I don't think it's available in Australia. Any suggestions for the most suitable substitute?

Sounds like Amber malt.

I have CaraAmber - will this suffice?

Haven't used it, but check this out:

CaraAmber looks a good option.
