Château Special Belgium Malt 260-320 EBC

Produced by Castle Malting, Special Belgium Malt is a unique dark Belgian caramel malt created through a specific double-roasting process. This specialty malt provides deep brown to near-black color while delivering a rich, complex malt character without the harsh bitterness often associated with roasted malts.

Flavor: rich caramel with notes of raisin, plum, and subtle nutty sweetness.

Special Belgium malt adds depth, body, and intense color to darker ales and lagers. It can also serve as a substitute for Chocolate or Black malt when brewers want dark color and complexity without roasted bitterness.

Caramel malts
