Maris Otter® Ale Malt is prized all over the world for the incredibly rich and moreish ales that it helps create. Our brewers tell us it is always flavourful, easy to brew with and returns that characteristic malt body that has made it famous over more than 50 years of barley cultivation.

Bred at PBI in Cambridge by Dr GDH Bell, the variety was taken up by Crisp farmers from the very beginning, since the barley thrives in the chalk soils and moist sea air of the North Norfolk coast.

BEST Special X® imparts to beer – depending on the amount in the grist – a smooth roasty flavor reminiscent of raisins or dried fruit. The beer possesses a chestnut to dark hue (depending on rate) and an aromatic and harmonious full-bodied character. The malt does not, however, introduce bitter roasted flavors but rather brings a mild smoothness to beer without any of the astringent qualities associated with other dark malts.

BEST Special X® is a cool and “crafty” malt-product. Any craft-brewer should try-out this malt in his or her creations and impress with a rich mix of flavors.

For amber-colored beers, all types of dark beer, Belgian styles like Abbey, Trappist beer, Belgian Ales and Dutch-style beers (wit beers).
