Flavor Profiles
Malt Profile:
Malt character is low to medium, with chocolate, bread, or biscuit aromas and flavors contributed by using dark Munich malt or other specialty malts. Because small amounts of roast malt may be used to enhance color, very low roast flavors, while allowable, should be minimal and should not dominate.
Hop Profile:
Very low to low, with attributes typical of noble-type hops.
Fermentation Character:
Fruity esters and diacetyl should not be present
