Viking Roasted Barley

Glass of cold beer made with Viking Malt's roasted barley malt

MALT CHARACTER

Viking Roasted Barley Malt is produced by roasting good quality malting barley grains. The roasting process is similar to that of Black Malt, with extra care taken to not burn the grain. The final temperature is more than 200°C. The flavor of Roasted Barley is harsh and more bitter than that of black malt. Burnt and smoky flavors are strong.

APPLICATIONS

Roasted barley is used in dark beers like stouts and porters, mainly for its strong coloring ability. Roasted barley will impart a dry flavor and substantial color.

Roasted grains give beer a beautiful color and a characteristic grain aftertaste.”
