Bourbon Barrel Aged Chocolate Malt (SugarCreekMalt)
This is a truly unique and effective malt. We dry aged our base malt in bourbon barrels, once aged we chocolate roasted it. The results have been phenomenal and we can't be more excited to get this malt to anyone who loves bourbon barrel aged anything but does't want to hassle with the process of barrel aging liquid or attempting to use oak chips/staves.
This malt can be used in place of your roast malts and will impart a complex and balanced bourbon barrel character, without the harsh bite or over aging staves can create.
300-400L
Heavily roasted with a dark chocolate color. Lends itself to deep flavors of nuttiness, black coffee and dark chocolate, oak, vanilla and bourbon.
First time using the Barrel Aged malt. I'm hoping this turns out to be a real smooth stout, so I'm keeping the roast real low.

I'm hoping to brew more often, and will need something to replace the Scotch Ale (CC). This should be fairly similar to (AX), but some of the Pilsner malt will be from Mecca Grade and some of the roasted malts will be replaced by the barrel aged malt. Also, I'll try to up the pH of the water in order to round out the finish a bit more than last time. Finally, I'm going to do a second beer with the second runnings.
