Carafa II - A German dark de-husked malt for authentic German dark Lagers such as Dunkles and Schwarzbiers. Can also be used and experimented with in other styles where a more mellow roasted grain flavor is desired.

Victory - Gives a warm toasted nutty flavor which is great in Nut Brown Ales. Its clean flavor makes it well suited for ales and lagers alike, use in small amounts to add complexity and warm color.

Crystal, 120L - used in Red Ales and in beers where you want a heavy caramel flavor contribution. Will contribute deep red hues to the color of your beer.

Munich - increases body, aroma, malty sweetness and slight biscuit flavor.

Caramel 80 - Caramel 80 is a medium dark crystal malt with a deep reddish hue and pronounced flavors of dark caramel with hints of raisin. A great caramel malt for many styles (especially red ales), use 3-15% for enhanced body, foam stability, color, and flavor. 80°L

Tasting notes:
Mellow roasted grain flavor, not sharp.
Heavy caramel. Malty sweetness, with slight biscuit profile. Woody on the tongue from low bitterness Northern Brewer hops (German Variety).
