2-Row Caramel Malt 10L; Briess
Golden color and a candy like sweetness. Characteristics & Applications: • In contrast to Brewers Malt, glassiness is a distinguishing characteristic of Caramel Malt. The glassy endosperm creates the desirable non-fermentable components giving true Caramel Malt the ability to contribute body (mouthfeel), foam foam retention, and extended beer stability, while contributing color and unique caramel flavor. • Caramel 10L is a roasted caramel malt that imparts golden color. • Use 3-7% for Pilsener-style beers for balance. • Use 5-15% to provide color, sweetness and color to light amber beers. • Produced from AMBA/BMBRI recommended 2-Row Malting Barley varieties.

In the primary. Initial taste has a lot of depth. Added rosemary and coriander into the cherry sauce (1lb of dried cherries cooked down and blended). The rosemary definitely shows through in the taste. Used an Irish Blend Tea (Irish breakfast tea with bergemont) the tea adds a nice bitter citrus flavor, that compliments the cherry sauce. Too early to determine the dryness or hop profile, but I am expecting good things. this recipe is push the bounds of what I have experimented with for additives.
