Crystal 120 makes those dark fruits and burnt sugars emerge and become key players in a beer. Typically used in stronger, darker beers. Contributes substantial malt balance. As a darker roasted malt with robust flavor and increased unfermentable sugars, it is more efficient at adding body and flavor than its less-roasted counterparts.
