'''Black patent malt''', sometimes called simply '''black malt''', is the darkest of the common [[roasted malt|roasted malts]].  It gives beer dark color and flavor with a very different character than [[roasted barley]].
 
 
 
==Brewing with black patent malt==
 
 
 
===General brewing information===
 
Used in low proportions, black patent malt will add color to beers without a significant flavor impact.  At a slightly higher rate, it will contribute dark, roasted flavors; overuse will lend an ashy flavor.
 
 
 
Black patent malt is also sold as a flour for easily measured color additions.
 
 
 
===Beer styles===
 
Black patent malt was the characteristic grain used to brew [[stout]] until it was supplanted by [[roasted barley]] in the early twentieth century.  Some black malt is still used in most stouts, porters, and other dark beers, as well as to give color to some [[Schwarzbier]].
