Light Chocolate Malt

Light Chocolate Malt is completely unique, providing one of the lightest varieties of roasted malts available from any malt supplier. Compared to other Chocolate Malts, it demonstrates a lean towards sweetness rather than 'roastiness' akin to milk chocolate than dark chocolate, complemented by subtle nuttiness for producing Stouts and Dark Ales of distinction.

Light Chocolate Malt

A versatile addition to our Chocolate Malt range, Light Chocolate Malt offers a refined balance of roast and sweetness. With reduced roast notes compared to our classic Chocolate Malt, this malt unveils a sweeter profile, complemented by subtle nuttiness and dried fruit character.

Light Chocolate Malt provides a foundation of rich maltiness and a gentle smokiness. A tapestry of flavours unfolds on the palate, beginning with the comforting warmth of freshly roasted coffee, robust bitterness, and delicate notes of peated whisky. This evolves into sweet notes of muscovado sugar and maple syrup. Hints of caramel and black treacle add depth, while luxurious dark chocolate and cocoa undertones create a decadent finish. The lingering taste of dried fruits, particularly dates and prunes, provides an elegant complexity.
