Which beer style is known for being malty with a focus on caramel and toffee flavors?

Porter
Stout
Amber Ale
Pilsner

The correct answer is: Amber Ale

The correct answer is Amber Ale, as this beer style is characterized by its malt-forward profile, showcasing prominent caramel and toffee flavors. Amber Ales are typically brewed with a combination of pale malts and specialty malts, which contribute to their rich, sweet maltiness and the signature caramel notes. The balance between malt sweetness and hop bitterness in Amber Ales makes them approachable and flavorful. Other styles listed, such as Porter and Stout, tend to have more roasted flavors and dark chocolate characteristics, which overshadow the caramel and toffee notes found in Amber Ales. Pilsner, being a lager, generally emphasizes crispness and hop bitterness rather than malt sweetness, further differentiating it from the malt focus of Amber Ales.
