Hi Jim

Darina Allen, of the famous Ballymaloe Cookery School has a recipe that almost seemed a 'standard' a few years ago. It uses molasses:

I've used molasses for years in rye breads especially. It adds a depth of flavor, and gives you a nice deep color. Goes well with caraway seeds. Also you may want to play with malt syrups or rice syrups.
