This unique ingredient influences the overall flavor of the brew by contributing a robust and distinct character.

The use of Unmalted Emmer in brewing serves multiple purposes. It enhances mouthfeel, promoting a smooth and creamy texture in the final product. Additionally, it aids in head retention, resulting in a more visually appealing beer with a frothy foam.

Its addition adds complexity to these styles while maintaining their classic characteristics.
