BEST Melanoidin

Compared to BEST Melanoidin Light, BEST Melanoidin contains significantly more dextrins as well as aroma- and color-producing melanoidin compounds formed in a more intensive malting process. The malt is thus an excellent basis for particularly strong, dry-full-bodied and dark to chestnut-red beers. The fruity aromas, which are reminiscent of dried fruit, are also more pronounced than in BEST Melanoidin Light.

For dark and russet beers, Alt, Märzen, Bock, wheat beers and all other specialty beers.
