Donny google BeerSmith and cream ale he wrote an article about them. I did the creamy goodness one early in my brewing adventure and it was ok.

How did you find the table sugar to effect the taste?

The simple sugar doesn't really change the taste, it's more of an insurance policy to make sure you get a good dry finish, which is key to the style. You could probably get away without it.
