Munich Type II (Dark) Malt from Weyermann is a German malt characterized by its richer and more pronounced malty flavor compared to Munich Type I. It imparts flavors and aromas of bread crust, nuts, and light caramel, with a color typically in the range of 8-12 Lovibond. This malt is well-modified, and while it can be used as a base malt, it is often blended with other base malts to enhance malt complexity and color.
