Is Lyle's Black Treacle essentially Invert #4, or is Black Treacle even darker and more robust than Invert #4?
None of the Lyles products is Invert sugar. Treacle is essentually what we Yanks call molasses. Golden syrup is also made from waste products of the refining process. Neither is actually inverted. They aren't substitutes for any of the standard Brirish brewing sugars. Those are made from complete cane sugar, pH adjusted, inverted, and subjected to extended heating at the inversion temperature without further evaporation to produce color and flavor through various pyrolytic reactions.Is Lyle's Black Treacle essentially Invert #4, or is Black Treacle even darker and more robust than Invert #4?

And necessary since you can't buy it by less than the tanker load.
25kg is also a lot for a homebrewer. Hell 2kg of each #1-4 would last me a year two.
What I've never seen in the US in less than drum scale is Brewers Caramel.
