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”.

Tap at Borefts 2017. Hazy darker golden with small white head. Lots of vanilla, bourbon, sweet malts, alcohol, soft cinnamon, old wood. Quite sweet and over medium bitter. Full bodied with a bit boozy finish.

Bottle - Caramel notes and woody notes. Clear gold with a decent white head. Woody, sweetness and scotch notes. Not tasting bourbon or maple. Sweet and boozy, may get better with age.
