The crowning glory of the IREKS specialty malts. A solidly dark colour and a full aroma turn this malt into an absolute highlight among the specialty malts. Produced as a kiln-dried malt and not as a roasted malt, this specialty from the IREKS Company is suitable for enhancing the malt aroma and the colour of dark beers without bringing a roasted taste into the beer which could possibly be perceived as being “rough”. Over and above, it gives the beers a rugged taste profile, mainly only achieved by use of the decoction method which requires a great deal of time and effort.
