What sugar should be used when making root beer?

I am interested in making my own root beer at home. I'd like to stray away from the recipe a little, and need some suggestions. If I replaced the regular white sugar from the recipe with brown sugar or molasses, how would the taste of the root beer change?

Most recipes I was able to find seem to use basic sugar cane. The biggest difference comes from the kind of Root Beer Extract you use. There are a few different brands of extract and each have different qualities, as best as I can understand.

This isn't our typical Fun Food entry. This is a real technique for
making rootbeer that requires close attention to the instructions.
Have a blast with this one!
Ingredients:
2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon yeast ## scant teaspoon
2 tablespoon root beer extract
Directions:
Put ingredients in a gallon jug that has been sterilized, with about
a quart of very warm water. Depending on your tap water
quality, you may want to use bottled or filtered water from your
grocery store.

Stir until ingredients are well mixed.
Finish filling the jug with warm water. Let stand six hours
(important: just lay the lid on top, do not screw on). At the end of
the six hours, screw lid on and refrigerate.
Note: Use warm, not hot water. Hot water will kill the yeast.
Rootbeer extract is available in your grocery store in the section
where you would find vanilla extract, orange extract, peppermint
extract, spices, flavorings, etc.

Thanks for the recipe, but I was asking about the taste of root beer made with brown sugar or molasses.
