[GN 299] This is the blackest of the black. It provides the deep black color found in stouts and porters, and must be used sparingly, generally less than a half pound per 5 gallons. It contributes a roasted charcoal flavor that can actually be quite unpleasant if used in excess. It is useful for contributing color and/or setting a "limit" on the sweetness of other beer styles that use a lot of caramel malt; one or two ounces is useful for this purpose.
