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.

Very delicious impersonation of a Belgian brew, but much smoother. Great beer to share with friends, for it is slightly cheaper. Better to purchase in a four pack for that reason, Good Belgians don’t come in that pairing. Tastes primarily of spices, some cherry, warming but still delightfully passive. Not much of a lingering aftertaste. No head but nice lacing.

A gift pack of 3 Unibroue beers is now finally widely available in Australia through First Choice liquor stores. Corked 750ml bottle into Trappist glass. A hazy copper brown ale with an ample dense biege head. Warming aromas of caramel roasted nuts and oranges. Tastes similar with a nice spicy finish and a gentle lingering bitterness. Smooth creamy mouthfeel that goes down very easily. On a par with some of the Belgium Trappist ales.

. Ive got more bottles.I’ll do a more reflective review or some shit . But this is an excellent Belgian style ale. I found this rich, malty and aromatic. Burnt fruit esters. Dogg , I must locate a case of 750mls.

From 750ml bottle. Great aroma, citrus fruit cloves, malt. Rich deep brown colour. Flavors of yeast, cloves, banana, and citrus fruit, a little spicy and at 8% this is a fantastic beer.

Poured a very thick (2” plus) off white head. Translucent dark amber brown (mahogany). Floral/fruit aromatics in the nose. Medium bodied. A strong spice/acidic grapefruit and ginger taste (and clove??) with a noticeable hop bitterness that balances the flavors. Almost like a fine wine or cognac in taste. Alcohol is only slightly noticed. Somewhat dry, sticky finish with a lingering, slight sweetness. Not a favorite but a good change of pace.

Dégusté dans le verre de la maudite, bière d’édition 2008 en forma 371 ml. Apparence brun ambré foncé avec une fine couche de mousse démarquant bien chaque levé du coude. Odeur de caramel, muscade, sucre brun un peu de mélasse et de fûmé de bois de santal. Une pointe de canelle, d’orange et estragon. Un goût complexe de sucré, de salé, de fruité et d’amertume. Un liquide avec un potentiel de vieillissement exceptionnel axé sur le floral. Il sera très interressant dans déguster les subtilités de divers millésimes.
