Flavour and description
A dark Belgian caramel-style malt. High temperature of germination. Taste development at up to 220°C, intense aroma. Château Cara Gold malt imparts a strong caramel-sweet aroma and unique toffee-like and brown sugar flavour, adding a rich amber colour to beer. A distinguishing characteristic of all caramel malts is glassiness. This glassy endosperm creates the desirable non-fermentable components that give true caramel malt the ability to contribute mouthfeel, head, head retention, and extended beer stability. Brown and dark beers. Up to 20% of the mix.
