Kiln Coffee Malt; Malteries Franco-Belges
This malt is obtained by a strong torrification process of normally kilned malts originating from selected barleys. This malt reinforces the taste and mellow flavor of the beer. It also reinforces the color of the beer, but does not color the foam.

The darkest of the Belgian crystal malts, Dingemans Special B will impart a heavy caramel taste and is often credited with the raisin-like flavors of some Belgian Abbey ales. Larger percentages (greater than 5%) will contribute a dark brown-black color and fuller body.

Notes
This is an alternate take on a recipe I had done a couple years ago that turned out close to Allagash Porter Stout. The Simcoe is needed to balance all of the sugars, the Franco Coffee grain is a great touch, and the Chmapagne (dry) yeast works very well for this beast.
