CRYSTAL DARK malt

Simpsons CRYSTAL DARK - English Malt

Crystal Dark is a bold, intensely crystallized malt that delves into the delicious realms of complex toffee, dark fruits, and burnt sugar, but without the astringency of roasted malt.

With these flavors, coupled with a rich ruby-brown hue, Crystal Dark becomes an excellent choice for porters, stouts, and barleywines where a fuller caramel depth and darker malt character are desired.

Typically used at 5–15%, Crystal Dark provides a deep malty foundation, balancing hop bitterness while enhancing color, body, and layered caramel complexity, making it an essential malt for brewers seeking depth and richness in darker beer styles.
