BESTMALZ · Flavour and use

BEST Black Malt is roasted more intensively than BEST Chocolate and is ideally suited for very dark to black beers that should have a pleasant roasted note. Depending on the amount used, flavor profiles of bitter chocolate and mild to strong coffee are achieved in the beer. Despite the more intensive roasting process, the gentle method avoids astringent, unpleasantly bitter flavor notes. This is reflected in comparatively low pyrazine levels. The foam also remains consistently bright. For all beers for color intensification, for Schwarzbier, Bock, Alt, Starkbier, Porter and all other very dark to black specialty beers with roasted or coffee notes.
