Viking Chocolate Light Malt

MALT CHARACTER

Chocolate Light Malt is produced by roasting from pilsner malt. The amylolytic activity of Chocolate Light Malt is zero. The amount of fermentable extract is rather low. “Chocolate” refers primarily to the malt’s color, not its flavor.

APPLICATIONS

Chocolate Light Malt is mainly included in Porters and Stouts, but it can also be used for any other dark-colored beers like Dark Ales due to its strong coloring value. Chocolate Light Malt contributes roasted flavors and aromas with hints of dark chocolate and coffee in any beer.

Already with rather low dosage portions a remarkable increase in color can be achieved, together with changes in flavor and aroma. The typical dosage rate of Chocolate Malt is normally under 5–10%.
