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.

Pours a cloudy dark amber with lots of solids suspended and floating around. Tan head with good retention. Nose of herbs, spices, and floral. Taste is very complex, consisting of notes of red grapes, raisins, citrus, caramel, wood, herbs and pepper. Spicy and sweet finish.

Dark pour. Belgian aroma with a weightier feel. Dry mouthfeel, little aftertaste. Flavor up front is bitter. No sweetness which I expected. Re-rate 8/26/09. Pours heavy red with a murky appearance. Smell has a nice round of spice with a quick punch of heavy flavors. Mouthfeel boasts an immediate tingle which is cheerfully provided by the ABV. Taste is better than I remembered however I was but a tot when I tried it the first time. Slight improvement.

Bomber. Light tan head over a maroon base. Very yeasty, malty and fruit in aroma and flavor. Some bitterness in the end. Nice almost refreshing Belgian strong.

A classic, indeed. I remember that I didn’t like this beer in the early 90’s; it was too strong, spicy and strange for my commercial beer tastebuds. It’s been now maybe two years that I really appreciate strong beers but I never re-tasted the Maudite until recently. And God was I surprised!. I think my uncle had kept it for several months in its refrigerator; I know it’s not the beer way of cellaring but it was deliciously thick and caramel sweet, with layers of complexity, with spices, fruits and moderate bitterness. I read it has a five years aging potential. Great, but the important think not to forget to enjoy those strong Unibroue beers: LET IT WARM!
