BEST Wheat Malt Dark

1 of 21 products in this brand
BEST Wheat Malt Dark is the dark or “Munich” variant of BEST Wheat Malt. It is suited to effervescent, amber-colored and dark wheat beers as well as top-fermented beer styles. Thanks to the more intensive malting technique, BEST Wheat Malt Dark achieves a fuller, maltier body in the beer combined with richer, luminous colors. The flavor profile is somewhat fruitier and more flowery than a barley malt of a comparable hue, while the foam is improved thanks to fine pores and greater durability.
