Reserve the first gallon of runnings and boil it to a light caramel before returning to rest of wort. - see reference:
If using the above simple grain bill (98% pale, 2% roast barley) you can create a small amount of caramel flavoring by kettle caramelization. This is the process in which you take a small amount (1/2 a gallon for a 5 gallon batch) of your wort and boil it in a separate kettle from the rest until it becomes a deeper, richer brown color. Then add it back into your main brew kettle. Often you can start both your small boil and main boil at the same time and by the time your main wort has begun to boil the caramelizing wort is ready to be added back in.
Soak oak spirals in good Scotch before using.
