Aurora is an aromatic malt that has been developed to produce rich bready, fruit cake aroma and orange/red colour. It has a long traditional germination process to create complex sugars and amino acids which react during a careful kilning regime. The resulting maillard reaction is responsible for the colour and flavour. It is ideal for dark ales, Belgium style and high alcohol beers. If you want to make that big malty, rich beer then this is a great malt to use along with our Crystals and Red Back.
