maltier
Richer in grain
Maltier is the comparative form of malty, meaning having more of the flavor, aroma, or quality associated with malt—the germinated grain used in brewing and distilling.
A beer might taste maltier than another, or a whisky might have a maltier nose: This stout is maltier than the pale ale we tried yesterday.
