'''Vienna Malt''' is a [[kiln]]-dried barley malt darker than [[Pale Ale Malt|pale ale malt]], but not as dark as [[Munich Malt]].  It imparts a golden to orange color and a distinctive toast or biscuit malt aroma to the beer.
 
 
 
==Brewing with Vienna Malt==
 
 
 
===History===
 
 
 
While it is now considered a high-kilned malt, Vienna malt was one of the earliest pale malts and formed the basis for a new breed of lighter lagers exemplified by [[Anton Dreher]]'s [[Vienna Lager]].
 
 
 
===Malting Process===

===Beer styles===
 
 
 
Vienna malt traditionally makes up up to 100% of the [[grist]] of [[Vienna Lager]] and the bulk of the related [[Märzen]] style.  Other [[beer styles]] sometimes use Vienna malt to add malty complexity and light toasty notes to lighter base malts, or to lighten the grist of a beer brewed with mostly [[Munich malt]].  Examples include [[Baltic Porter]], [[Dunkelweizen]], and most styles of [[Bock]].
