Dingemans · Flavour and use

Our Special B MD is the darkest of the caramel malts. Thanks to a unique double drying process, Special B MD gets its unique aroma and flavour. Special B malt has an intense caramel flavour and is often connected to the raisin-like flavour of some Belgian abbey beers. Should you desire less bitterness in your beer, you can change out MRoost 900 and 1400 with Special B MD malt. 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 15% of the grain bill.
