Product Details

Taste & Character

Viking Chocolate Light Malt is a roasted specialty malt that provides a softer, more delicate chocolate flavor compared to its darker counterpart. With a color range of 200–300 Lovibond, it imparts subtle notes of cocoa, toasted nuts, and mild roast, while contributing a rich amber-brown hue to the finished beer.

Where It Shines

This malt is an excellent choice for lighter dark ales, brown ales, or experimental recipes where a gentler roasted character is preferred. Its restrained flavor contribution allows brewers to add complexity and depth without the intensity of darker roasted malts.

Role in the Brewhouse

Viking Chocolate Light Malt enhances flavor and color while avoiding harsh bitterness, making it suitable for layering roasted notes alongside caramel or crystal malts. It provides smooth cocoa undertones that complement both malt-forward and hop-forward beer styles.

Brewer’s Guidance

Use Chocolate Light Malt at 3–10% of the grist depending on the desired impact. Smaller additions bring gentle chocolate highlights, while higher usage adds deeper roasted sweetness and color, particularly in brown ales and hybrid styles.
