Colour EBC: 1200 Colour °L: 453 Beer Styles: Dark special beers, Stout, Dark Ales, bock beers Usage: 1 – 5 % This roasted pealed barley is roasted at high temperatures and afterwards rapidly cooled when the desired color is achieved. Of course this barley gives the beer a darker aroma and beer color. The barley gives an smoky/burnt flavor to dark beers. Because we are using pealed barley the undesired astringent flavor from the husk of the barley disappears!
