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.

12 oz bottle brewed by Vaux. Pours a clear dark amber - looks like the picture. Malty aroma. Medium body. Mild carbonation. Itโs malty, and smooth, but thereโs enough hop to balance. Decent beer. Probably a notch above Newcastle Brown. Not floral. Not really bitter.

50 cL clear bottle. Pours clear and amber with a slowly collapsing off-white head. Light fruity and malt dense aroma. Flavour is medium sweet malt with a light fruit touch and followed by a mild bitterness. Mildly roasted caramel malt and fruity hops into the finish. Gradually building bitterness.
