Amber Malt
Also known as Biscuit Malt
Crisp Amber malt is a kilned specialty malt. It has a strong biscuity, toasted grain flavor and imparts amber and copper hues. Amber malt is traditionally used in medium or dark English ales, especially brown ale, mild ale, and old ale. The dry taste of Amber malt is an excellent complement to bitter hoppiness, making it a nice addition to IPAs.
This is the palest malt made using a roasting technique. After conventional kilning, the malt is dry and pale in color hence it is known as “white malt”. It is transferred to our Speciality Malt Plant and passes through the roasting column where the flavour is transformed through the application of heat. The temperatures used through the column determine the colour and flavour of the roasted malt.
Amber Malt is typified by a dry, toasted biscuit finish and can add an amber hue to the beer.
