Coloration EBC: 900
Features: Belgian chocolate malt. Torrefied at 220°C and then quickly cooled when the desired colour is reached.
Usage: Brown, strong, darker and black beers, such as porters, stouts and brown ales. Recommended proportion: 7%.
Characteristics: Chocolate malt is a highly roasted malt with a deep brown colour. This is where its name comes from. Chocolate malt is used to adjust the colour of beer and imparts a nutty, toasted flavour. Chocolate Malt shares many of the characteristics of Black Malt but is less bitter flavour than Black malt and is by 200 EBC lighter than Black, because it is roasted for a slightly shorter period of time and end temperatures are not so high.
