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.

Bottle: Cloudy brown with a small beige head. Light Belgian spices in the aroma along with yeast, bananas, and a bready character. Tastes right on par with the aroma. Dry and lingering spices in the finish. Ehh, not overly stimulating.

The contrast between the beer and the head is striking. Seems like usually beers like this have a darker head. Anyway, this beer is great and superior in many ways to some Trappist beers I’ve had. Is that heresy?

Pours milky medium brown with a sort of ashy beige 1.5 finger creamy head. Aroma is huge on fruity yeast, grapes, cherries, over yeasted bread dough, wheat, wet hay. Flavor is chewy candied dates, raisins, plums, a hind of mild pomegranate, granny smith apple peels, orange peels, vanilla frosting, cherry, a decent amount of caramel, and some toast for good measure. Finish is burnt sugar along with lots of fruity notes fading away, a bit yeasty in a sourdough kinda way. Body is medium-thick and slightly sticky with a slightly dry finish, slightly over carbonated.

darker red pour into my tulip. I have had this beer many time but am just getting around to raiting it now. Nice floral aroma with a touch of Belgian yest. the flavor is very complex with notes of citrus, belgian yest and a hint of spice. Unibroue is soooooo enjoyable it sickens me.

12 oz bottle poured into a tulip glass. Poured an orange/brown with off-white foamy head, that dissipated to a ring. Aroma of yeast, dough, soap, orange peel, apple cider, dark fruit, and pepper. Taste of oranges and cherries, with plenty of yeast and doughy bread flavor. Finish is dry, and light/medium bodied with crisp carbonation. A very nice Belgian beer, which Unibroue always does a nice job of.

Aroma is largley fruity lots of cherries and apple in there. The flavor is drier than the aroma, certinally some cherries some well pronounced and nice warming alcohol, just mildly hoppy a little musty and yeasty. Pretty nice!

Poured from the bottle. It has a sweet, yeasty aroma. It has a sweet and dry flavor that clings to the palate.
