It imparts layered sweetness — think honey, raisin, and plum — with subtle sour notes that round out the palate and a warm brown colour that enhances darker styles without overwhelming roast character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe higher acidity also helps support mash pH, making it a genuinely useful addition beyond just flavour. Use at 5–15% for warm malty depth, push to 20% for dark fruit highlights, or go up to 50% as a base in milds, bocks, and porters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50–70 EBC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Honey, raisin, plum, complex malt sweetness with sour after-notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUsage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5–15% normally; up to 20% for dark fruit; up to 50% as base in milds, bocks, porters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mild, Brown Ale, Porter, Bock, British Bitter, Session Beer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubstitutes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Simpsons Dark Aromatic, Weyermann Special B, Crisp Crystal Extra Dark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBrewer's notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse at just 5% in a pale ale to fill out body and give a warm malt background under hops.
