Visual is for sight, audio for hearing, olfactory for smell, tactile for touch...is there a corresponding adjective for the sense of taste?
E.g., what word would you use to complete the sentence "The perfectly-grilled steak produced powerful olfactory and _____ sensations"

gustatory is the perfect adjective for your sentence.

Most of the answers suggested so far refer to words that mean "flavorful" or the like>.
The first answer was more on track -- the adjectival form is "gustatory"
see, for example:

The adjective for the word 'Taste' is edible. I think it is the same for eatable.
E.g.
''The perfectly-grilled steak produced powerful olfactory and edible sensations''.

The word ( or at least one that works) is sapid, but no one ever uses it.
