Commercial Description:
In November 1992 Maudite (the damned one), was the first strong beer to be distributed in Quebec grocery stores. Maudite is a mahogany-colored, rich-tasting premium beer that has a distinctive, complex taste. Because of the warmth it releases, this strong character beer must be served cool but not cold. Perfect with pasta, red meats, stews and spicy dishes, it also makes a good aperitif and after-dinner drink.
Maudite has a typically Quebecois name that is reminiscent of the legend of the Chasse-Galerie (the legend of the Flying Canoe). Legend has it that a group of lumberjacks struck a deal with the devil to fly home in their canoes, guided by Satan himself, to make it home in time for Christmas.
Gold medal winner in 1995 and 1996 and the Chicago Beverage Tasting Institute.

12 oz bottle. Pours dark copper/caramel color. Absolutely beautiful lacing; looks like diamonds fizzling towards the liquid gold beneath. Head sticks around for a decent amount of time. Dark fruits aroma, malty tastes and nicely balanced hops. Nice finish. Very enjoyable beer.

Cold 750ml corked bottle: Pours a clear dark copper color with some sediment and a quickly gone small fizzy alabaster head. Aroma is of rich malt, sharp yeast, dark fruit (cherries) and some light earth notes. Taste is of rich malt and sharp yeast well blended with lightly earthy hops. Some sour notes in the middle. Light to medium bodied and crisp with high carbonation. Ending is of sweet malt into cherries. Yum! :)

My fav of the Unibroue - tastes way better in Canada but still damned good in the States. Definately has that fruity/yeasty taste, similar to Fin du Monde but this has a bit more kick. Yum!

Pours an orange-brown with a large head that recedes rather slowly, thus guaranteeing the drinker a foam moustache. In any event, this is another very good Belgian from Unibroue which, so far can seemingly do no wrong. Though a little watery compared to other Belgian Strong Ales, it has a full array of honey, brown sugar, a pinch of citrus, and some dark berry. Recommended.

Sampled during Cellar’s Wine & Spirits Wednesday evening tasting via Unibroue representative. Pours a hazy dark brown amber brew with a fast dissolving off-white head. Aroma of roasted caramel malt, some roasted nuts, yeast and dried dark fruits. Taste is medium bodied, with flavors of multi-grain malt, some extra yeast, dark fruits and a touch of spice. Finish is semi-dry with a malty grain aftertaste that has a second finish of tart berries and yeast. A multi-personality Belgian Ale best describes this beer.
