Swapped out chocolate malt for Crystal 15 and slightly more Victory malt. Rust Bucket mk. 1 was closer in color to a brown ale. Also reduced liquid volume, and altered hop profile to suit end goal of creating a floral/spicy Amber as a base for a pumpkin ale.

Notes:

Amber ale bottled with light brown sugar turned out excellent! Strong caramel flavor with spicy notes from the Brewer's Gold hops. This recipe will be used to create a pumpkin ale next.

Notes:

Strong caramel / malty flavor, with slight bitterness from hops. Not much aroma, as suspected (more recent brew session used different hop profile to counter this). Still, very drinkable. Good, solid base amber ale for experimenting.
