Special B^® is the darkest of the caramel malts. It gets its unmistakable aroma and flavour thanks to a unique double drying process. Special B^®malt has an intense caramel flavour and is often connected to the raisin-like flavour of some Belgian abbey beers. Aproximately 120 Lovibond, it gives an amber to reddish-brown color.

It has a positive effect on foam stability from as little as 5% of the grain bill, and can be used for up to 15% of the grain bill.
