Briess Special Roast Malt
Briess Special Roast is a dark amber roasted malt. Slightly darker than biscuit-style malts, Special Roast has a toasty, biscuity flavor, but accompanied by a unique sourdough tang. It imparts deep gold to brown color, depending on usage. Recommended for dark style beers, especially IPAs, ESBs, amber and nut-brown ales, and porters.

This is a drum-roasted biscuit-style malt that is more deeply roasted than our Victory® Malt. It is produced from a proprietary malting/roasted process that kicks up the intensity of the toasty and biscuity flavors. It develops noticeable bran flake notes and creates its distinguishing bold sourdough/tangy flavor.
