Brown Malt
The next stage up from Amber Malt is Crisp’s Brown Malt. The color is produced in the same manner as Amber but is roasted for that bit longer to give a nutty roast dryness with a light brown hue, perfect for brown ales and milds.
Remember that when assessing roasted malts, it is the resultant color and flavor of the wort and beer that is important rather than the color of the outer barley husk of the malt in your hand.
Different varieties of barley may give roasted malts with differing husk color but will produce wort with the expected color and flavor when mashed.
Tasting Notes
Lightly roasted flavor
Milky coffee undertones
Hints of sweet pastries
