Alternative Fermentables Beer - Alternative Grain Beer

A base beer enhanced by or featuring the character of additional grain or grains. The specific character depends greatly on the character of the added grains.

Flavor Profile: Same as base beer style. The additional grain should be noticeable in flavor, although it may not be necessarily identifiable. However, the alternative grain should provide the major flavor profile for this beer. Different grains have different characters
