Chocolate Malt

Category:
Grain
Type:
Roasted Malt
Stage:
Mash
Color Range:
300 - 400
Notes:
Chocolate malt is used in small amounts (0.5 lb./5 gal.) for brown ale, but used extensively (1 lb./5 gal.) in porter and stout. This malt has a bittersweet chocolate-coffee flavor, pleasant roast character, and contributes a deep ruby-black color. Using a lot of chocolate malt will not make the beer taste like chocolate! Exceeding 1 lb. in 5 gal. may give the beer an unpleasant inky aftertaste.
