Chocolate malt is used in the production of Porters and sweet Stouts. Chocolate malt has a rich chocolate and coffee flavour and aroma with a light astringency. A great deal of care is needed in the use of this material because of its intense colour and flavour. Manufacture is similar to Amber malt but higher final temperatures are used. Flavour again is due to pyrazines and pyrroles.
