Roasted Barley

Briess - divider line

You probably don't munch on a handful of Roasted Barley the way you do your sweet Caramel Malts. But those dry roasted bitter, coffee-like flavors characteristic of Roasted Barley are what makes most Stouts a Stout, and add complex flavor or color to other brews as well.

At Briess we produce two types of Roasted Barley for greater formulating flexibility. Check out their characteristics below.

Don't confuse unmalted Roasted Barley with Black Malt. Roasted Barley and Black Barley are not malted. Rather, they are made by intensely roasting barley that's been steeped.
