LB, Simpsons- RDC

Simpsons DRC has been several years in the making. Simpsons Malt developed this unique malt using its roasting experience, knowledge of malt flavor profiles and pilot roasting facilities. This malt is at the darker end of Simpsons Malt’s caramel malt spectrum, however imparts a colour and an intense sweet malty aroma second to none which must be experienced to be believed. This malt has the classic Simpsons Malt house feel and instantly breaks down in the palate once chewed. It has a distinctive aroma and flavour that is very complex and imparts a heavy, dark caramel taste with more subtle notes of burnt sugar, raisin, and dark dried fruits such as cherries and plums. It can also deliver some of the softer roasty notes of a chocolate or black malt but without the astringency or bitterness. Simpsons DRC will produce a deep brown color with ruddy highlights and add body and foam stability like all caramel malts. Use it to brew traditional Belgian Abbey and Trappist Ales, Dubbels and Dark Strong Ales, but also try it in UK Brown Ales, Stouts, Porters and or any other dark beers, to add an extra layer of complexity.
