What does MALTY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Having the flavor, aroma, or character of malt.
A malty taste is sweetish, toasty, and slightly grainy, the flavor produced when barley or another grain is sprouted and dried before brewing or baking. Beer, whisky, and certain breads and cereals are often described as malty when this flavor comes through strongly rather than being masked by hops, sugar, or other ingredients. Tasters sometimes distinguish between a light, biscuity malty note and a deeper, almost caramel-like one.
