BEST Chocolate

BEST Chocolate provides an ideal gateway to the world of brewing with roasted malts. Due to the gentle roasting process, noticeably bitter flavors are largely avoided, which can also be demonstrated by the comparatively very low pyrazine levels. This means that BEST Chocolate can also be used to brew very pleasant dark to black beers with malt bill percentages of up to 10%, without these beers developing a bitter astringency. The foam of the beer remains light.

For all beer styles to intensify the color, for Schwarzbier, Bocks, Alt, Brown Ale, Porter, brown beers, Stouts, and all other dark to black beer styles with a mild roasted or coffee note.
