Although it has the lightest flavor and aroma profile compared with black malt and roasted barley, there are many more places that it can fit in a style. It is true that it can be “one-dimensional” at times, but nothing can replace chocolate malt in what it brings to a beer — namely chocolate. So what it lacks in dimensionality, it more than makes up for in adaptability. Be it a very mild milk chocolate character, to a punch in the face of 70% dark cocoa, it always brings some sort of chocolate to the party.
