roastier
Darker when cooked
Roastier is the comparative form of roasty, describing a more pronounced roasted flavor or character.
The term appears most often in beer and coffee contexts, where roastier notes indicate deeper, more intense flavors from darker-roasted malts or beans: This stout is roastier than the porter we tried last week.
