I'm new to brewing and any beer other than the American big brewery standards.
Well i had sampled a American brown ale and loved the malty beer so what other styles are heavy on the malt?
 
If you can lager, munich helles and dunkel are really nice. I loves me some nice British Mild ale as well. Orfy's Mild Mannered Ale is a great place to start if you like brown ales.
 
My first thoughts would be

Mild for a low ABV
Scotch ale for a high ABV

A good Scotch ale, and you are almost chewing malt. ;)
 
Irish Stout, Scotch Ale, Porter. In order of my personal preference.

Cheers to a fellow malt man! Those hop heads are getting all the attention these days. :D
 
I also like maltier beers. I made the mistake of making an Irish Red Ale as my first brew. All I can say is I have a lot leftover.

There is a graph that gets posted fairly often that shows IBU vs OG - and has different regions for Hoppy or Malty flavored. I made myself a list of some of common recipes kits based on their Hoppyness or Maltyness. I know this is a sweeping generalization, but it helped me prioritize which beers I wanted to make.
