Acacia Flavor Based Upon Toast Level

[Kitchen]

Anyone know how the taste of Acacia change with different toast levels? A local cooperage offers barrels all their barrels with all levels of toast and char, so I was kind of wondering.

I have only every read Acacia being light toasted and it giving floral flavors. Just wondering how that changes as the toast level increases.

Thanks, Joe

with acacia it just imparts levels of smokiness. acacia won't impart any of the vanillins or caramel notes that oak will
