Taste & Character
Viking Caramel 150 Malt delivers bold caramel sweetness with layered notes of dark toffee and dried fruit. With a color of 60 Lovibond, it deepens the beer’s hue to a rich amber-brown and provides a smooth malt backbone that enhances both body and complexity.
Where It Shines
This malt is an excellent choice for Porters, Dark Ales, and malt-forward beer styles where richer caramel and toffee flavors are desired. It balances sweetness with depth, making it ideal for recipes that aim for layered malt character.
Role in the Brewhouse
Viking Caramel 150 Malt contributes unfermentable sugars that improve body, foam retention, and mouthfeel. Its darker caramel notes integrate seamlessly with roasted or chocolate malts, adding roundness and balance while preventing overly sharp roast character.
Brewer’s Guidance
Use Caramel 150 Malt at 5–15% of the grist for deep caramel sweetness and color. Lower additions create smooth undertones, while higher percentages highlight toffee and dried fruit character, especially in darker, malt-forward recipes.
