Briess Caramel 120L Specialty Malt – 10 lb Bag for Deep Color & Toffee Flavor

Description

Briess Caramel 120L is a highly roasted crystal malt that imparts a dark copper to reddish-brown hue and intense flavors of burnt sugar, toffee, and raisins. At 120° Lovibond, it is a powerful specialty grain used to add complexity and body to darker ales, Stouts, Porters, and Belgian Dubbels. It contributes unfermentable sugars that enhance mouthfeel and improve head retention in the finished beer.

Brewery Mash Tip: Use 120L malt sparingly, typically 3-10% of the grist, to avoid an overly “cloying” sweetness or burnt-bitter character. It does not require mashing for sugar conversion and can be steeped for extract brewing. Pair it with lighter Caramel malts to create a multi-dimensional toffee and caramel profile.
