Spotlight Ingredient

Roasted Barley Malt

Roasted or Black barley isn’t actually a malt, but it’s a key grain in many stouts. To produce, barley must be roasted at high temperatures. Roasted barley can add richness, complexity, sweetness, and color to a wide variety of beers, and is known for its bitter, sometimes smoky flavor
