Special Roast Malt

Special Roast Malt is awell you guessed itspecially processed malt from the American Maltster, Briess. It is kilned using 6 row barley and it appears to be Victory Malt turned up a notch. Here is the malt profile on Special Roast Malt:

Flavor: Toasty, Strong Biscuit, Sour Dough, Tangy

Color: 50 L – Most sources claimed it added a dark orange/red color to beers. Briess claimed the color contribution range was from deep golden to brown hues.

Body: Adding this malt to your grist would add body to your beer.

Use: I think any non-straw colored beer where roasty, toasty flavors are acceptable is a good candidate for this malt. Porters and Nut Brown Ales could take a good helping of this malt, and smaller amounts (less than 8 ounces) would work in Viennas, Mrzens, and Alt beers.
