SPECIAL W®, Weyermann®, EBC: 280–320

SPECIAL W® by Weyermann® – weighed out

SPECIAL W® is a dark brown, caramelised special malt made from German quality brewing barley. Weyermann's special caramelisation process converts the grain almost completely and gives the malt the most complex flavour profile among the producer's caramel malts.

Flavour and use

The malt contributes raisins, dark caramel and distinct notes of nuts, pastries and bread. It is particularly well suited to dark and malt-forward beers, including amber and dark lagers, brown ales, Belgian Dubbels, porters, stouts, strong ales and barrel-aged beers.

• Colour: 280–320 EBC
• Recommended proportion: up to 30 % of the malt mixture
• Tasting notes: raisins, dark caramel, nuts, pastries and bread
• Character: dark brown and intensely caramelised
• Enzyme activity: none
• Malt type: dark caramel barley malt

For complex, malt-forward beers

SPECIAL W® is an obvious choice when the beer needs a deep malt character, body and complex dried fruit and caramel notes without roasted malt as the main characteristic.
