I've made this, but I have also used burnt honey as an adjunct in making imperial stouts.

It adds a toasted marshmallow note that goes very well with the roasted barley flavour.

One thing interesting thing is that boiling and burning honey attracts bees; I took to doing so at night and still bees would get into the house. These were African honey bees so may be a species thing, as they have a different temperament than other honey bees.

I remember that one university in my previous home town cross-bred Italian and African honeybees in an attempt to make a more docile bee.
