BESTMALZ · Flavour and use
BEST Special X is a dark caramel malt that has undergone a short roasting. As a result, it develops a very intensive, exceptional flavor profile. At a maximum usage rate of 20%, a bright chestnut red to chestnut brown color is achieved in a P12 beer. Even in low grain bill proportions, the malt is excellent for supporting the overall body of dark beers and makes the taste experience more complex and interesting. For Altbier, Bock, Schwarzbier, Malzbier, Belgian beers such as Abbey and Trappist beers, English beers such as Amber beer, dark ales, Porters and Stouts, and as an ingredient for all craft beers.
