Roasted Barley
Roasted Barley
Colour: 1200-1400 EBC
Best for: Dry Stout, Porter, Irish Red Ale
Roasted Barley is used in stouts and dark ales to deliver intense colour and a sharp roasted character, contributing dry bitterness, coffee notes, and a distinctive roasted finish.
SKY Roasted Barley is produced from unmalted barley, roasted at high temperatures to achieve very dark colour and a pronounced roasted profile. It contributes bold notes of coffee, cocoa, and dry toast, with a characteristic sharpness that distinguishes it from roasted malts.
Used in small proportions, it is highly effective for building colour and adding dryness to the finish. It is a defining ingredient in classic stouts and is also used in porters and dark ales where a more assertive roasted character is required.
