About

Germinated from slightly higher-nitrogen barley to drive more colour through greater Maillard reactions, using moist air recirculation and low temperatures early in kilning followed by a long, high-temperature finish. The result is rich, sweet and toasty with a biscuit flavour and a touch of breadiness, giving a deep orange colour and a malty, toasted, nutty, grainy character. It keeps enough diastatic power to act as a base malt for malty continental lagers and robust ales.
