What's honey malt? I haven't heard of that one.

Re: Bomb prototype for the holidays
Here's ya go:
"Malt sweetness and honey like flavour and aroma make it perfect for any specialty beer. The closest comparison is a light caramel, but Honey Malt has a flavour of its own: sweet and a little bit nutty. Made by restricting the oxygen flow during the sprouting process, Honey Malt is essentially self-stewed. When the oxygen is cut off, the grain bed heats up, developing sugars and rich malt flavours. The malt is lightly kilned for a color color profile of 25 SRM and is devoid of astringent roast flavors. Honey malt has a diastatic power of 50, and can convert itself but not additional adjuncts. It is best mashed with a base malt. Use up to 25% in specialty beers for a unique flavour."

I've seen it in recipes before (Clone Brews - it's a US book) but never seen it for sale in the UK. I wondered if it was something like Carahell?
Re: Bomb prototype for the holidays
No, it is a proprietary name (Gambrinus?) for a German malt called Brumalt. Weyermann's version of the same thing is Melanoidin malt.
