A mainstay of classic dark beer styles, Black Malt has its origins in the 19th century. French & Jupps Black Malt is meticulously roasted to achieve maximum colour intensity, delivering a powerful, assertive character on the eye and palate.
Dominated by a wonderfully smooth bitterness and the intense aroma of strong espresso coffee, Black Malt offers a distinctive smoky character reminiscent of smouldering barbecue coals.
While reduced sweetness compared to our Chocolate Malts is characteristic, the malt’s backbone remains robust, with pronounced notes of breakfast toast, bread crust, and freshly baked rye bread. A stream of marzipan awakens a distant sweet and nutty complexity, lifting the overall profile.
