The first and only one. In 1901, Maxim Ale was first introduced to the North East. Following an increase in strength in 1938, it became known as Double Maxim. This premium quality ale is still famous among discerning drinkers for its well-rounded flavour.

Cask at Charlies’s Bar, Copenhagen. An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of caramel and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, lemony hops, and a bit of hay, leading to a bitter finish.

Cask at Beachy Head Inn, Eastbourne: Clear, chestnut-amber coloured, small off-white head with a good lace, moderate caramelly-fruity nose - dried fruits detectable, light bodied, pretty soft, moderate to solid sweet-bitter flavour; lingering raisiny-caramelly finish, nutty flavours detectable in the slight hoppy aftertaste. Nice thirst-quencher......

Cask@GBBF2010 (shared with FatPhil). Deep ambery brown colour with a mediumsized creamy slightly off-white head. Aroma is bready and caramel malty with some slight mashlike sweetness. Flavour is quite similar along with some raisins, nutty and wooden notes. Also mild spices in the finish.
