I recently stopped by a new LHBS that opened up nearby and managed to take pictures of all of the malts they had for future reference (they don't list them on their website yet). Each malt had a maltster, name, lovibond, and description. I am planning on making a brown ale soon, using brown malt, so I was pleased to see that they had it. However, unlike previous brown malts that I've used that have been in the 50-70L range, this one listed a lovibond of 132. I looked around the Bairds' website, and googled around, but have come up with nothing that would make sense for this lovibond range.
Does anyone have any experience with this malt? Does Bairds have a "dark brown" malt, perhaps? Maybe this is just a typo?
If this isn't a typo, it seems like this would fall somewhere between Coffee malt and a normal "brown" malt. I'm still tempted to use a pound or so in my next brown...
