Commercial Description:
Available in pasteurised bottles and cans.
In 1901, Maxim ale was introduced to the north east of England. In 1938, the beer was renamed Double Maxim. Over sixty years later this premium quality ale is still famous among discerning drinkers for its well-rounded flavour. Double Maxim is still brewed to exactly the same recipe and product specifications as it has been for over sixty years. Following extensive taste tests and trial brews, it is now brewed and packaged at Robinsons Brewery, a traditional family-owned ale brewer. All production and packaging is monitored closely by Jim Murray, the ex Vaux head brewer and he has been brewing Double Maxim since 1968!! He works closely with the team at Robinsons Brewery to ensure our precise product specification is achieved.

The most nonsense set of notes I’ve ever wrote. I must have been on something. Dark brown with a slight red / purple tint, thin off white head. Tea, rum, butter. Low carbonation. It did grow on me but not my kind of thing at all. Then my notes get really weird, I’ll keep that to myself.

Thin off whitehead with a dark amber body. Has more of a malty aroma than hops. Tastes very slightly of malt.

Bottle. Medium aroma and nice deep brown appearance. with a good white head. Seems to be watery in the mouth. Flavour was a sweetish, malty caramel taste and a touch of bitterness. Not a bad brown ale really.
