Bairds Black Malt is excellent for darkening beverage color without imparting too much astringency or roast characteristics. The flavor is surprisingly neutral, with a clean dryness that makes it an incredibly versatile product. Add small quantities for color adjustment to achieve deep amber and red hues and larger percentages to contribute coal-black opaqueness.
