Ingredients of the toasted beer
As we mentioned earlier, toasted beer is still a normal beer. That's why its ingredients are the same as a normal or traditional beer. The only thing that changes and that you must bear in mind is that to make this beer you will need to make toasted malts and not normal ones.
How it is made
The fundamental component for obtaining a roasted beer is the use of more or less roasted malts. This is what will give the beer these attractive tones.
With the lightly roasted malt, even beers with red nuances are obtained, such as Red Ale (typical of Ireland) or Belgian Flemish style.
