Comparing Crystal 40°L and 60°L - Malt Flavor Experiments

This week, we explore the flavor differences between crystal 40°L and crystal 60°L.
This is something Mike has always wanted to do but until recently was unsure the best way to approach it. Now that Mike is working on brewing 2 gallon "half-batches" with BIAB, executing some of these malt comparisons is a little easier.
We expected much more out of this experiment. Classically, we expected the C40 beer to have some notes of light sugar and maybe honey, while we also expected the C60 beer to be more caramel in flavor. Neither beer really lived up to those expectations. The easiest way to tell them apart was by color, but the flavor differences was subtle.
Check out the video for more ramblings on Crystal 40°L vs. Crystal 60°L malt.
Tell us about your malt flavor experiences in the comments!
Cheers!
