I've used it a few times. The grain it's closest to flavor-wise is rye but you will taste it in the beer at a far lower percentage of the grain bill.

Brown ales, stouts and big beers would be fine.

I'm experienced enough with Vienna thatusing 5.8% will give me a clue.Maybe someone braver than I can give it a try.Every time I hear buckwheat, I can't help but think of the Little Rascals.
So...how did this ever turn out? I ask because I just picked up 24oz of the same Buckwheat Malt today. I am leaning towards using it in a Brown Ale at some point, but I'm concerned that in a beer like that and at 10% of the grain bill, I might not be able to parse out the flavor contribution from the Buckwheat.
