25-29 °L - Viking Malt - Malty and bitter but also roasted and nutty flavors can be found with long lasting linger. Aromatic malt rich in melanoidins. Recommended for dark beers to enhance reddish color and aroma.
Flavor of this malt is actually really nice, but the desired red color failed to happen. I used it with ultra pale pilsner type DME, so it should have revealed a red color ... it didn't. The brew I made turned out to be a pleasing amber. I extracted in clean water up to 150F and no red. I allowed the infusion to continue to 190F and still no red.
I used this malt at 0.5 pounds per 6.0 pounds of base malt. I was expecting a red ale, but the color effect was muted. It was a little more amber than usual, with great flavor. Smooth and rich. I will try it at a higher proportion of the grain bill to see if I get a radical red.
