Gold Swaen© Munich Dark
Has a typical aroma to intensify and stabilise the flavour.
Description
Gold Swaen© Munich Dark adds a warm reddish shine to your beer while delivering a smooth, rounded flavour profile. Rich notes of caramel take centre stage, supported by delicate hints of roasted grain for extra depth.
Slightly darker than Gold Swaen© Classic, this malt brings a bolder character without overwhelming the balance of your brew. It’s ideal for creating malt-forward beers where colour and complexity make all the difference.
Thanks to its versatility, Gold Swaen© Munich Dark works beautifully in a wide range of styles, from amber Ales and Bockbier to darker Lagers. It enhances body, enriches mouthfeel, and adds a malty backbone that harmonises perfectly with both hops and yeast character, giving your beer a well-rounded and satisfying finish.
Usage
Low-alcoholic beers, Bockbier, Export beers, specialty beers, light and dark beers.
