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.

Bottle. Creamy off-white good mostly lasting head. Brown colour. Week but delicate light malty and hoppy aroma. Nice powerfull malty bitter flavor, not so caramellic. Moderate bรญtter average finish. Oily palate.

Bottle: Amber coloured, huge off-white foam; malty-fruity nose, a bit caramelly, too; sweetish (malty) flavour, light to medium bodied, velvet MF; light bitter-malty finish with a distinctive fruitiness. Pleasant brown ale...............

(Bottle 50 cl) Never even heard of neithe beer nor brewery - probably my mistake. Very brown indeed, or rather deep, deep amber, filtered with a brownish, creamy head. Dark, almost roasted malt-character with a pronounced bitterness. Ok, but probably never becomes a favourite of mine. 130804

Ex Vaux beer, now brewed for "The Double Maxim Beer Company Sunderland", website www.dmbc.co.uk . 550 ml bottle, straight from the fridge (= served too cold) at The Shipwrights, North Hylton, Sunderland. Deep brown colour, darker than Newcastle Brown. Decent head. Malty and nutty aroma and flavour, hints of toffee, low bitterness. Fuller flavour than NBA, but not remarkable.

A red brown beer with a beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with burnt notes. The flavor is definatly that of a brown ale - but this one a little thin. Though it is still an OK beer - and I'd rather have this one, than Newcastle Brown Ale.
