Caramel malt is a specialty malt that contributes distinctive malty notes to beer and influences its colour, flavour fullness and perceived sweetness. Depending on the type and degree of heat treatment, it can impart notes of caramel, toffee, dried fruit, toast and gentle sweetness.
Caramel malts are produced by specially processing germinated grain under controlled temperature conditions. This promotes transformations within the grain that develop the malt’s characteristic flavour, aroma and colour.
