Produced by Briess, Special Roast is a roasted malt with a dark amber color. It offers a slighter deeper hue than biscuit-style malts and is known for its toasty, biscuity flavor with a hint of sourdough. Its usage results in a range of colors, from deep gold to brown. This malt is highly recommended for dark beer styles such as IPAs, ESBs, amber and nut brown ales, and porters.
