Well, my lad. A malt beverage is a beverage made from malt. Malt beverage, as a term, is meant to enclose all beer, ale, and porter (and everything in between), without having to distinguish between them. It's easier to tax beer and ale as one product than having two different sets of standards. That's my theory, at least.
When it comes to which sweet drink to enjoy, it's a question of whether you want a malted shake or a milkshake. Here's the difference between the two. Sometimes simply called a malt, a malted shake is one of those seriously old-timey drinks that is still found at diners and soda fountains. What distinguishes it is malted milk powder â the evaporated powder made from malted barley, wheat flour, and whole milk. It has a toasty, buttery flavor that's just a bit savory. Malted milk powder is blended with ice cream, milk, and any flavoring, like chocolate syrup, to create a thick but drinkable shake.
