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.

Deep brown pour, cloudy reddish hue. Thin but lasting creamy head. Some lacing. Really sparkling, surprisingly so. Yeast, fruits, and sweet maple bread in the nose. The flavor adds something almost sour, but not unpleasant. A solid Belgian ale.

Pours orange-amber with a quarter inch of head. Head subsides but not too much. Smell of fruit and thank weird funk that unibroue beers have. I wonder if it’s the water. Yup I’d have to see it’s the H20 that makes that smell. Sweet maple wood with a zesty kick. Pretty good like most Unibroue beers. That orangey liquor flavor isn’t bad even though it doesn’t hide the alcohol enough. The carbonation however is lively to the point where combined with the flavor is a bit much and makes this feel like too much. Like usual I can have one of these at a time. Unibroue beers are great in moderation [as in 1]. Overall a really good beer!

Smells and tastes like a dark saison. Lightly hoppy, moldy, wet hay, earth but drinkable. Funk kinda ruins.

Complex aroma: gumball, funk, spice, brown sugar. Hazy brown, with a dense, active tan head, leaves a generous lacing. Sweet with raw sugar and raisins, malty, alcohol well hidden among gumball, cinnamon, and generalized fruits. Some toffee on the finish. Creamy, leaves a lingering mulled smoothness on the palate.

Pours a murky dark copper colour with a thin white head. Smells of soft fruit, cloves, cinnamon and yeast. Tastes of soft over-riped fruits, some sour apple cloves, cinnamon and the distinct unibroue yeast taste. Good complex beer

Dense and deceiving pour - leaves the bottle as any other liquid would, but the thickness makes for an appealing aesthetic. Thick, lingering head with generous lacing. Cloudy appearance throughout with a lighter overlay displaying a sort of gradient at the top of the glass. Light and springy aroma sure to complement any hearty meal due to its Sweet and delightful taste with very little underlying bitterness. Leaves the lips with a slightly sticky sheath and touches the touch with a pang of sweetness and spice.

12 oz. bottle into a tumbler. Purchased at New Grocery and Deli. Aroma of overripe dark fruits. It makes me feel like I’m in a stone garden surrounded by vines. Slightly malty n the aroma as well. Medium brown appearance with a thick creamy head that dissipates to almost nothing quickly. Very creamy and fruity. Leaves an almost whipped-cream like feel in your mouth after drinking. Very smooth and enjoyable taste. Good balance. Carbonated yet smooth palate. Defnetely drinkable, while still providng lots to ponder and enjoy. Hghly reccomended.

Bottle. Poured a cloudy brown color with a one finger off white head. Aroma of spices and yeasty notes. Flavor was sweet with spice and some sugar, and fruity notes too. Good beer.
