Taste & Character

Simpsons Crystal Dark Medium Malt delivers a balanced caramel sweetness with subtle notes of toffee and raisin. With a color range of 40–60 Lovibond, it imparts a medium amber hue while enhancing both body and malt complexity in beer.

Where It Shines

This malt is versatile enough for use in English Ales, IPAs, and Amber Lagers, where moderate caramel flavor complements hops and base malts. Its smooth sweetness provides depth without overwhelming balance, making it suitable for a wide range of recipes.

Role in the Brewhouse

Simpsons Crystal Dark Medium Malt contributes unfermentable sugars that improve body, foam stability, and mouthfeel. Its moderate flavor intensity makes it effective for layering complexity, offering malt richness without dominating lighter or more hop-forward styles.

Brewer’s Guidance

Use Crystal Dark Medium Malt at 5–15% of the grist for smooth caramel sweetness and amber color. Smaller additions provide subtle malt depth, while higher usage creates richer body and layered flavor complexity.

Quick Description
