Bonlander Munich Malt - Briess

Briess Bonlander Munich Malt is an aromatic Munich-style malt used to add rich, malty depth and warm, bready character to a wide range of beer styles. It contributes a deep amber hue along with balanced sweetness and subtle caramel undertones, enhancing malt complexity without overwhelming lighter grains. This smooth, full-bodied malt forms a solid backbone in Bocks, Märzens, Dunkels, and amber ales.

This malt provides functional benefits for brewers seeking warmth and fullness in the grain bill. Its flavor profile supports rounded sweetness while maintaining a clean fermentation character, making it suitable for both lager and ale recipes that rely on rich malt presence. The malt’s color and aroma help build depth in darker lagers while adding structure and body to malt-forward ales.

Briess Bonlander Munich Malt is produced using traditional Munich-style kilning techniques to develop its distinct sweetness and amber tone. Its enzymatic strength allows it to be used as a supportive specialty malt or as a major portion of the grist. The malt integrates well with base malts and specialty grains, helping brewers achieve a clean but robust malt flavor.

To use this malt, incorporate 10 to 20 percent of the grain bill to enhance aroma and flavor or increase the percentage up to 50 percent for creating full-bodied, richly malty beers. It performs well in all-grain and partial mash brewing systems and complements styles that depend on smooth malt character, subtle sweetness, and balanced color.

Designed for brewers refining malt-forward recipes, Briess Bonlander Munich Malt delivers consistent flavor, color stability, and clean sweetness. Its versatility and reliable performance make it a valuable ingredient for both traditional German lagers and modern amber ales.
