Try EKU 28. It's as sweet & malty as just about anything. It's
The Kulminator, aus Deutschland! The alcohol content is high, around
11% by volume. Some people like it, I don't.
Prost!

You might want to look at some of the 'authentic' Scottish brews (that
is, from Scotland). They tend to be quite malty, and somewhat less hoppy
than Grant's Scottish Ale. In the U.S., McEwan, Belhaven, and MacAndrew's
are reasonably easy to find, and all quite good.
Another possibility is sweet Stout, of which Mackeson is the classic
example. It's rich and very smooth, with a distinct sweetness. Old Peculier,
though not a sweet Stout, has a similar flavor profile, with a rich, almost
butterscotch-y sweetness.
Most Bocks, Doppelbocks, and Barley Wines are very malty. Many are quite
hoppy and/or fruity as well, which may or may not be what you're after. A
few that tend more toward the malty side are Sam Adams Double Bock, Young's
Old Nick (a Barley Wine), Anchor's Old Foghorn (if you can find it), and most
of the German Doppelbocks (Celebrator, Salvator, among others).
If you're feeling ambitious, try some of the very strong Doppelbocks
(Samichlaus or Kulminator) or Barley Wines (Thomas Hardy, especially when
young). These have strength in the 12 to 14% range, and are intensely,
almost overpoweringly, malty.

Too right. It sounds like rocket fuel and tastes like it too. A beer you
could stand a spoon in. For sweet and malty, I'd try a French Biere de Garde.
I don't know which brands you could get over in the states but they can be
found in most good Off Licences {Liquor stores} here in the UK. Jenlain is most
common and not bad either. Further more it won't make your tongue curl up and
your hair fall out like said rocket fuel.

Sweet, malty beers (stouts) are very popular in the Caribbean. One of the best
is Dragon Stout from Jamaica. There is a Danish (I believe) stout that is also
very popular down there called Ceres (sp?). Haven't seen it in the US though.

Jeeze, don't tell Bert Grant that! Actually, I would describe GSA as a
"hoppy" rather than a malty beer, but hey... If you want to experience
a real Scottish ale try Douglas (which is brewed in Scotland for the
Belgian trade, where it is bottled, then shipped here). Or try any of
the German doppelbocks (Kuminator, Salvator, Optimator) -- or the
Norwegian bock from Aass -- deep, dark and extraordinarily malty. If
you're into sweet, try a sweet stout, Mackesson, from England.
You ought to also try some decent vienna/marzen/Oktoberfest style beers,
such as Paulaner or Spaten makes in Munich. If you can get Thomas
Kemper or August Schell Oktoberfest, these are excellent American
versions.
