[edit] General brewing information

Aromatic malt is high in diastatic power and can convert itself completely; however, because of the extremely strong aromatics it lends to the finished beer, most brewers avoid using more than 10% in a batch to maintain balance.

[edit] Beer styles

A traditional Belgian malt, aromatics are common in malty Belgian beers such as dubbels.

Aromatic (Amber 50) (Dingemans, )
Dingemans Aromatic is a mildly kilned malt that will add a strong malt aroma and deep color when used as a specialty malt. This malt can make up to 100% of the grain bill, but it is fairly low in surplus diastatic enzymes.
