GoldSwaen© Aroma Cara-Malt

GoldSwaen© Aroma is a specialty drum-roasted malt designed to deliver a massive aromatic punch. During the roasting process, it is subjected to specific temperature rests that maximise the development of melanoidins and complex sugars. This results in a malt that provides a powerful bouquet of honey, biscuit, and rich caramel, often accompanied by subtle notes of dark stone fruits. It significantly enhances the body and mouthfeel of the beer, providing a luxurious, rounded texture. Due to its intensity, even small additions can transform a simple recipe into a complex, multi-layered brew with exceptional head retention.

Key Benefits

Applications
