skunkier

Stronger in stench

Skunkier is the comparative form of skunky, meaning more reminiscent of a skunk's pungent spray.

The word most often describes beer that has gone bad from light exposure, developing sulfurous off-flavors: This lager tastes even skunkier than the last one.

Cannabis enthusiasts also use it to describe stronger, more pungent strains.
