Hi all,
I am wondering how others feel about using chocolate malt. It seems like each time I use this malt in a recipe, the outcomes always basically taste the same. the chocolate malt just takes over, and I get an unpleasant almost 'chocolate milk' type flavour. This, for me, is not desirable in a beer unless its a stout/porter. I tried that malt in american & english browns, porters, and even a small amount in a Pale and they all taste the same ! I went to a brewpub last night and tried the 'bitter'.... Chocolate malt, and it tasted exactly like all the other beers I have made with this malt.
Are my taste buds just 'off'? Lol... I will still use it in my stouts, though. However anything else I think I will skip it. Anyone out there enjoy this malt in other styles?
