Flavour and description
Strong sweet caramel taste
Dingemans · Flavour and use
Our Cara 120 MD is a dark caramel malt that is produced in the roasting drum. By gradually increasing the temperature, this malt gets its intense caramel sweet aroma and flavour, as well as its dark colour. Cara 120 MD malt is used by many Belgian breweries for the production of abbey beers. All caramelised malts have a positive effect on foam stability from as little as 5% of the grain bill. This caramelised malt can be used for up to 25% of the grain bill.
