BEST Melanoidin has even more aroma and flavor-enhancing Maillard reactions than BEST Melanoidin Light, thanks to the more intensive malting process. As a result, this malt is an excellent basis for all especially strong, dry and full-bodied, dark red to chestnut-colored beverages. The fruity aromas are also more pronounced than in BEST Melanoidin Light with hints of dried fruit. BEST Melanoidin complies with the purity guidelines of the German Reinheitsgebot.
