Special W® malt

Special W® malt (Weyermann's version of the famous Special B) is one of the most intense crystal malts in our catalog. Its degree of boiling gives it a beautiful brown color and very pronounced aromas of brown caramel, bread crust, raisin (and fruit), and perceptible notes of sweet malt, chocolate, coffee and hazelnut.

Used at up to 10%, its pronounced aromas are a perfect match for the most powerful brown ales, such as dopplebock, Eisbock or Quadrupel. However, in very small percentages, it can also be used as a "spice" to give a caramelized complexity to certain light beers such as ordinary bitter or Irish red ales.

This characterful malt also contributes a mellow texture to the finished beer.
