maltiness
Cereal grain taste
Maltiness is the quality of tasting or smelling like malt—the germinated grain used in brewing and distilling.
Beer enthusiasts discuss maltiness as a flavor profile: This amber ale has a rich maltiness balanced by hops.
The term appears most often in descriptions of beer, whisky, and malted milk products.
