The chance to brew with long time idol Alan Sprints of Hair of The Dog is something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Maja is a bourbon barrel aged barleywine brewed with maple syrup, lactose sugar and vanilla beans. Conceptually you could call it a “maple muffin barley wine”.

Aus der Flasche im 2021-10 getrunken. Dieses Barley Wine kommt im Europäischen Stil mit schweren, süßlichen Malzkörper daher. Dazu fällt eine Liebstöckelnote auf wie sie oft durch den Einsatz von Ahornsyrup zu entdecken ist. Mit der zusätzlichen leichten Vanilienote kommt fast ein Puddingaroma auf. Ein super leckeres Ale!

Tap@Mikkeller Viktoriagade, Copenhagen (11/10/2020) - hazed amber with a white head. Sweet malty with lots of caramel and dried fruit shred, some sweet sticky maple, bourbon and light nutty accents throughout, brown sugar, with vanilla and bourbon coalescing into the lingering warming sweet malty close. Lovely.

Bottle: Poured a dark brown color ale with a medium size light brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of caramelized malt with some strong vanilla and bourbon notes is quite enticing. Taste is also a mix of caramelized malt notes with some bourbon, oak and vanilla with discreet residual sugar notes and subtle maple notes. Body is pretty full with good carbonation with light warming alcohol notes. Solid barleywine from a fantastic brewery.
