Weyermann® CARAFA® Type 3 is a dark-roasted specialty malt made from high-quality spring barley. It’s carefully roasted to add an espresso-like bouquet coffee and chocolate flavors and a mild but noticable roasted aftertaste. It produces opaque beer with coffee-brown color. Weyermann® CARAFA® Type 3 is similar to ‘Chocolate’ or ‘Black’ style roasted malts and can be used in any dark lager or ale.

Where malt-based bitterness is not desired consider using Weyermann® CARAFA® Special Type 3. The de-husked version of CARAFA® it produces rich color body flavor and aroma without the harsh flavors and astringency typical of dark-colored grains.
