Product Details

Taste & Character

Simpsons Crystal Dark Malt is a rich caramel malt that provides bold flavors of caramel, toffee, and dark fruit. With a color range of 60–80 Lovibond, it imparts a deep amber to reddish-brown hue, adding both sweetness and visual appeal to darker beer styles.

Where It Shines

This malt excels in malt-forward recipes such as Red Ales, Amber Ales, and Brown Ales. Its pronounced caramel character enhances complexity, balances hop bitterness, and creates a smoother, fuller-bodied drinking experience.

Role in the Brewhouse

Simpsons Crystal Dark Malt contributes unfermentable sugars that improve body, mouthfeel, and foam stability while delivering layers of caramelized sweetness. Its rich flavor profile makes it a valuable addition for building depth and harmony in darker beer recipes.

Brewer’s Guidance

Use Crystal Dark Malt at 5–15% of the grist to achieve a rich caramel profile and enhanced body. Smaller additions add subtle complexity, while larger percentages create pronounced sweetness and color in malt-forward ales.

Quick Description
