I like it.

IMHO, necessary for creating authentic British style ales, this will go into a mild.

How does this malt compare with Special B?
David Shields on Feb 21, 2023
BEST ANSWER: EnteAgree completely with the previous answer, I have both on hand so I took a quick look, smell and taste of each. True to the previous answer, deep caramel and some dried fruit in both, but the Special B is more dried fruit. The Bairds, although less raisiny, has a hint of slightly overdone toast crust which I didn't get from the Special B. Finally, the Bairds 135/165 is noticeably darker than the Special B.r an answer to this question.

Good Malt!
Came vacuum packaged in sealed bags, was very fresh and tasted good. Gave the beer the complexity it needed to the malt charcter.

Great for a stout
I was feeling experimental on brew day, had this lying around from a previous recipe - just threw in a cup of crystal to see how it would affect my stout. I liked the improved flavor. Unfortunately, my brain is horrible at translating flavor into words. Sorry!

A unique malt
I used this malt in a stout & a dark hoppy red. In the stout it gave me the residual sugar I needed so that was a win. In the Red it was the primary color to the beer. It lent a heavy dark fruit flavor to the beer most people really appreciated.
