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.

Nice light brown slightly fizzy-creamy mediumlasting head. Aroma is slightly dry roasted, dark malts, hay, minerals, alcohol, mild dusty chili, grass, coffee, hints of fruit stones and cinnamon. Taste is slightly dry sour-ish roasted, dark malts, toast, sour-ish roasted grain, cinnamon, mild dusty chili, fruit stones, grass, coffee. Medium bitterness, slightly dry sour-ish mineraly mouthfeel. Nice enough.

Dark brown pour, light beige foam there but not that much of it. Nose is full of chocolate, sweet and soft, light chilli in the nose but mainly cocoa and toffee. Taste has more of hat chilli, and I am really enjoying this burn. Quite pleasant tingle and well balanced with chocolate and cocoa character, pleasant sipper. Liking this one.

(Keg at Sori Taproom, 20180106) The beer poured black. Its head was medium sized and lightly brown. Aroma had burnt malts, cocoa and mildly sweetness. Palate was full bodied with warming from chilli and medium carbonation. Flavours were burnt malts, sweetness, cocoa, dark chocolate and bitterness. Aftertaste had sweetness, chocolate and bitterness. Chilli lingered in the background all the time. Not bad but bit too sweet.
