Caramel malt

Caramel malt is a type of malted grain used primarily in brewing and baking. It is made from barley that has been lightly roasted, giving it a sweet caramel flavor and a rich amber color. This malt enhances the taste and aroma of beers, particularly in styles like amber ales and stouts, by adding sweetness and complexity. In baking, it can enrich the flavor of bread and cookies. The sugar content in caramel malt can also contribute to the beer's foam and mouthfeel, making it an essential ingredient for brewers and bakers alike.
