Briess | Victory Malt | per lb

Briess Victory® Malt is a biscuit-style specialty malt that adds toasted bread, biscuit, and mild nutty flavors along with an aroma reminiscent of fresh-baked bread. It is an excellent choice when you want to add warm, toasted malt complexity without the caramel sweetness of a traditional crystal malt.

At approximately 16–30° Lovibond, Victory Malt contributes deep golden to light brown hues while providing a clean combination of biscuit, toast, baking bread, and subtle nuttiness. Its relatively dry toasted character makes it useful in both ales and lagers.

In smaller amounts, Victory Malt can add a subtle layer of fresh bread and biscuit complexity to lighter-colored beers without overwhelming the base malt or hops. At higher usage rates, its toasted and nutty character becomes more noticeable, making it particularly well suited to Amber Ale, Nut Brown Ale, ESB, Porter, and other malt-forward beers.

Victory Malt can also be a great addition to IPA and Pale Ale when you want a firmer toasted malt backbone beneath the hops. In darker beers, it can complement caramel, chocolate, and roasted malts by adding another layer of bread and nut-like flavor.

Unlike caramel or crystal malt, Victory Malt isn't primarily used to add sweetness or caramel flavor. Think of it instead as a way to introduce dry biscuit, toast, fresh-baked bread, and nutty malt character to the grain bill.
