Flavour and description
Very strong malty
Dingemans · Flavour and use
We germinate our Amber - Aromatic MD malt intensively and kiln it at higher temperatures, which means that many Maillard reactions occur during the production of these malts, which give the malt a strong malt aroma. This lends a red colour to the beer. Amber malt also significantly improves head retention. Amber/Aromatic MD has low enzymatic activity, hence this kilned malt can be used for up to 30% of the grain bill.
