Maximón is a Mayan deity represented in various forms - also as a beer. A complex, moderately spicy, smooth and full-bodied Baltic Porter. There's a hint of fruity chili combined with sweet and rich chocolate notes.

330mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is loaded with dark dried fruit, subtle chili, and a touch of cocoa. Flavour is decadent, with loads of cocoa, a tiny hint of spice, and dark dried fruits. Finished on bitter molasses with a touch of sweetness. The hint of chili spice hits the back of the throat nicely. Full-bodied, warming, fruity and chocolatey. Excellent.

Smell-medium strong to the weak side, malt, roast bit of caramel. Foam- medium-thick, malty, roasted bit of coffee maybe. The head is small medium-dark brown white color. Cofee foam color I guess. Appearance- kind of nice brewer bottle cap, probably generic for all beers though, but still I like it. The bottle design is simple but the general aesthetic is fine. Color is as black as it can be, can't see any more color through light, so I guess its hazy dark brown or just pitch black. From - snifter Taste- malt, caramel, alcohol, sweetness, roast, a bit of spice. Quite smooth dark beer what goes in well, bitterness is low it is on the malt side. Good, I like it.

Bottle from LDZ (Piwoteka). Kolejny test ciemnych i mocnych piw. Barwa ciemna niczym opona potraktowana srodkiem do powierzchni gumowych, piana srednia i srednio trwala. Pachnie klejem do butow, wystygnieta kawa. W smaku czekolada o smaku chilli, torcik wiedenski, wedlowskie czekolady. troche fajnej rozgrzewki dostajemy za sprawa chilli, piwo poprawia poziom hemoglobiny i naprawde rozgrzewa niczym ognisko za szkolnych czasow. Deserowe i wytrawne zarazem, bardzo fajnie wywazone.

17 August 2019. At Gents Bierfestival X. Cheers to Anke, Kevin & the crew! Hazy black, thin, unstable, frothy, tan head. Aroma of biscuit, melting caramel, chocolate sauce, stracciatella, dates, raisin, coffee liqueur. Taste is medium to heavy malty sweet, thick chocolate & cream on a biscuity base, some dried, dark fruits underneath with a herbal touch; bitter toast, chocolate powder, pepper & an umami touch pave the way for a more outspoken, dry, peppery hoppy finish, biscuit & chocolate linger but chili is noticeable. The warming alcohol hints at coffee liqueur, Irish coffee perhaps. Medium to full body, oily texture, soft carbonation. A bit overpowering in its sweetness initially against which the chili tries to provide balance. Quite solid.
