Castle Malting® Château Roasted Barley – Milled

Castle Malting® Château Roasted Barley is raw barley roasted at temperatures of up to 230°C, with the final degree of darkness determined by the roasting time. It delivers an intense roasted character with bold burnt, grainy and coffee-like flavours, while offering more complexity than traditional black malt.

Unlike fully roasted malts, Château Roasted Barley retains a small amount of starch that can contribute to the beer's gravity and add a subtle sweetness. It produces a deep red-mahogany colour and a notably pale head, while contributing a pleasant dryness that makes it particularly effective in Porters and Stouts.
