Maximus is our Colossal take on a Double IPA. 9% ABV. Full of Simcoe and Cascade hops balanced against tons of rich malted barley—a bed of smooth malted wheat, biscuity Munich malt, and English Crystal. Maximus’ massive dry-hop bill entertains with spice, floral and berry notes … For the hop heads!

A dense off-white head on a light golden body. Nose includes malt, tangy hops, spice and brown sugar. This is a nicely bended malt-first IIPA. The taste profile extends from the elements in the nose, including dank and fruity hops, apricots, some spice and chewy, slightly caramel malts. Nice richness and density. A bit of alcohol warmth too.

Opalescent orange to amber colour, medium sized dense yellow-ish ecru head; aroma of marmalade, honeycomb toffee, orange peel oils, pine resiny, some yeast extract/soy sauce, grape and slight tropical fruity notes; taste of hoppy bitterness with the same notes as can be felt in the aroma; really enjoyable 'classical' imperial IPA
gave a cheers!

Bottle. Pours with reddish/orangeish color and lots of head. Pleasant bitter smell, and the hops predominate but not too overpowering like some other IPA’s. Great balance, IMO.

Aroma is bready, some caramel malt, grapefruit rind, pine. Taste has a moderate building to high pithy bitterness backed by significant caramel malt sweetness. Old school. Almost veers into American barleywine territory.

Clear amber color. Steady head. Aroma of hops, dried fruit and pine resin. The taste is pine resin, a little bit of raisins and a growing hop bitterness. My bottle may not have been as fresh as it should have been, but it was still good.

12oz bottle. Pours clear gold with a white head. Aroma has bright pine and sweet caramel malts. Flavour has a ton of sweet caramel malts, fresh pine, candied orange peel. More of a sweet malty profile than I expected, but not cloying at all. Excellent.

Can 568ml @ LINQ Hotel room, Las Vegas. Pours hazy deep golden with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, caramel, orange, citrus and alcohol. Taste is heavy sweet and medium bitter with a long warm, caramel, orange and citrus finish. Body is full, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.
