malty

Like some stouts

Malty describes a flavor or aroma characteristic of malt—the germinated grain used in brewing beer and distilling whiskey.

The taste is rich, sweet, and toasty, sometimes with caramel or biscuit notes: a malty ale, the malty sweetness of Ovaltine.

Malted milk balls and certain breakfast cereals have distinctly malty profiles.
