BEST Roasted Barley

BEST Roasted Barley bestows the beer with a characteristically dark depth of color. Depending on the grain bill proportion, it complements the flavor profile of the beer with intense roasted notes and bitter aromas reminiscent of strong black coffee or Italian espresso. The foam stability of the beer is also significantly improved. The barley is roasted directly without malting. Therefore, its use for beer production does not comply with the German Purity Law.

Indispensable for typical Irish and Scottish stout beers and for intensifying the color and aroma of dark ales, porters and dark beers.
