Depending on the recipe, it could change the effect. Generally speaking though, amoroso can replace dry.

• Dry in flavor & nutty, usually light gold in color, full

bodied * Oloroso sherry - A quality oloroso sherry is dry in flavor but, poor colored olorosos are sweet , deep golden in color, both styles will have a nutty flavor and are full bodied. * Cream sherry

• Sweet in flavor, deep golen in color, full bodied * Brown sherry
• Very sweet, dark brown, hence the name, full bodied
