Product Details

Taste & Character

Simpsons Crystal Extra Dark Malt is a bold caramel malt that brings rich, layered flavors of burnt toffee, dark fruit, and molasses. With a color range of 120–150 Lovibond, it imparts a deep red to dark brown hue, delivering both intensity and complexity to malt-forward beers.

Where It Shines

This malt excels in robust styles such as Strong Ales, Barleywines, Old Ales, and other darker recipes that demand a pronounced malt backbone. Its bold character enhances sweetness, body, and color, making it a go-to for high-gravity and richly flavored beers.

Role in the Brewhouse

Simpsons Crystal Extra Dark Malt provides unfermentable sugars that improve mouthfeel and foam stability while layering in deep caramelized sweetness. Its intense profile makes it effective in adding complexity and richness to strong and malt-driven recipes.

Brewer’s Guidance

Use Crystal Extra Dark Malt at 3–10% of the grist depending on desired intensity. Smaller additions add subtle molasses and dark fruit notes, while higher percentages deliver bold sweetness, deep color, and pronounced malt character.
