Despite its intensity, it brings more than just shade: coffee, liquorice, subtle berry notes, and a gentle tartness that adds real complexity to dark beers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest used sparingly. At 1–2% it adds dramatic colour with minimal flavour impact; push to 3% for a full roast presence. A precision tool for any dark beer brewer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1100–1485 EBC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coffee, liquorice, smoky, currant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUsage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 3% of grain bill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Imperial Stout, Oatmeal Stout, Porter, Black IPA, Schwarzbier, Brown Ale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubstitutes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roasted Barley, Weyermann Carafa® III Special, Crisp Chocolate Malt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBrewer's notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 1–2% inclusion adds dramatic colour with minimal flavour change — great for dialling tone in pale grists.
