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 medium brown with an off white head of tiny bubbles. Aroma is nutmeg and yeast. Faint spices. Flavors are clove and spice. It is very earthy and has just a bit of fruit flavor. Pepper spice that zings the tongue. The zing builds as it warms. Moderate alcohol taste and warming. Another nice beer by Unibroue.

Bottle. Pours cloudy amber with white frothy head. Great retention. Aroma is of spice, yeast, and cherry. Flavor is malty. Mouth feel is a bit watery.

Simply amazing! Poured an amber color with a slightly orange hue. Lots of tiny bubbles exploding from the clear body. Head is made up of millions of bubbles, but has a smooth, creamy texture. Aroma is packed! Extremely well-balanced between sweet malts, caramel, citrus, and alcohol. Taste is very similar. This beer is very similar to a Belgian tripel, but balanced equally with a nice malty richness. Palate is lively and smooth, but has a bit of a short finish. Overall, a tremendous beer! To date, a top 5 in my opinion!

dark brown hue that is extremely murky. Small off white head that is mostly diminishing. Aroma is of bread - 12 grain bread or whole wheat in particular, lots of yeast in the nose as well. Smells a little sour as well because of the strong citrus scent. Boozy beginning to the taste, and its followed by a small sweet taste in the middle, almost like a fruit tart. Sweet and a little bitter on the finish. Lively carbonation, with a light syrupy palate. A very good beer! Unibroue once again does not disappoint. Vive les quebecois! C’est un biere qui est gout-bon!!

dark reddish color with a large head. It hits the spot with a plate of good garlic and red wine spagetti. A great beer. All the beers I have had from this maker have been good!

I cannot submit a complete rating on Maudite, as it has been over seven years I got it. But its clove-like taste and beautiful red color are still great memories I carry from my trip to Montreal. Probably my favorite beer ever!

Bottle: Dark amber pour, foamy cream head with great retention...almost looks like a perfect espresso pour with a different hue. Immediately ripe strawberries and blackberries stand out with notes of pepper, spiced malts, raw cocoa and some bready malts apparent as well. Crisp, lively mouth feel...flavor has an abundance of sweet malts that are followed up by a dry, peppery taste that finishes on a sweet, woodsy berry note. Very good stuff!
