Aromatic Kiln is a strong malt by most measures. Providing a strong malt aroma and deep malt coloring as a product of it's kilning you can use Aromatic Kiln for up to 30% of your grain bill, but it is on the low side of diastatic enzymes (one of the enzymes converting starches into sugars so the yeast can convert those sugars to booze!) so most prefer to use it as a specialty malt aiding in styles like Ambers and Reds to get the darker coloration.
