Roasted barley adds intense roasty flavours with notes of espresso and liquorice. Imparts a dry, slightly burnt character with some bitterness.
Usually used in small amounts for flavour and colour, and an almost obligatory ingredient in stouts. Adds dark colour with red-brown hues, closer to black at high percentages.
Roasted barley lowers the pH of the mash, which may demand addition of calcium carbonate. No enzymatic power.
