My thought was that Bascom's would grade it at Amber even if they thought it was golden. I've had them grade syrup that was definitely Amber as dark before. When I saw it on the slip I questioned it and got "if you don't like it you can bring your syrup somewhere else to sell it". If I had thought it was anywhere near dark enough to call it dark I would have kept it to sell to my customers.
