Roasted barley is the quintessential grain used in the production of classic dry Irish stouts. Made from unmalted barley that has been deeply roasted, Sugar Creek's roasted barley adds a deep roasted flavor and aroma to beers. In addition, it can add a drying quality and roasty bitterness to beers in which it is included as part of the grist. Most notably used in stouts, it can also be used in small proportions in other dark beers such as porters, stouts, milds, dunkelweizens, browns...the list goes on! It is also used to give Irish red ales their characteristic red color and dry finish. Try adding an ounce or two in lighter styles to add color and dryness, as well as depth of character.
