Flavour and description
Dark Belgian caramel malt. Germination at high temperature, followed by roasting in a drum. This malt gives a dark amber to deep copper hue. It brings intense aromas of caramel, malt and biscuit. It significantly intensifies the beer’s body, and it promotes head formation and retention. Suitable for Brown Ale, Dark Lager, Amber beer, Bock Beer, and other styles. Up to 15% of the mash bill.
