I stopped in a LHBS the last Friday.  First time I had been in this one.  Beer on tap while you shopped too.  First time I had been in a B&M in at least 6 years.

 

Bought 4 packs of US-05 for a brew I knew I underpitched the previous day.

 

It was blowing off when I got home...........

I find special b brings dried fruit (think raisin) type flavors.  it doesn't sound like caraaroma is like that.

I think that's true, less of the dried fruit flavors and more of the warm, toasty malt flavors. It has a flavor that I associate with Czech Dunkel, but it works in a lot of styles to add a little malt complexity. My impression has been that it finishes with a less sweet flavor than the English and American Medium-Dark Crystal Malts.
