I've only gotten resin from Spalt Select. It has a higher level of one of the oils than other nobles. Can't remember which one though.

polaris is a resin bomb

I've got the Caraaroma in for the dark(150L) crystal. Do you get the roast flavor coming thru with the RB?

No. 2-4 ounces of roasted barley in  5 gallons of beer will not taste roasty. 

(2 if the roasted barley is >400L. 4 if it's more like 300L.)

Yeah, the 300L stuff from Briess gives a nice pleasant dry coffee-like flavor when used at 4-6oz for 6 gallons IME. Its not your classic roasted barley flavor.

What type flavor do you get from them? Description says "minty"

Good info. I may sub 2oz for some of the amber as it gives a toasty dryness to the beer. D/c the MW. Might up my red color. Thanks fellers.

Hard to describe, only used it once, but it had some resemblance to magnum, herbal, I hgad it blended heavily with mandarina bavaria so my experience is limited
