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.

Copper pour with a creamy head, yeast proteins visible. Spicy citrus aroma (oranges), slightly floral. Nice spice component dominates the malt, notes of orange, cinnamon sugary. Finish is very sweet and sugary but soft and well balanced...perhaps a bit too sweet as it warms.

Deep dark brown in color and very cloudy. Nice head with tiny bubbles due to the secondary fermentation. Has a yeasty, raspberry aroma. Thick mouth feels as expected from appearance. Subtle bite and excellent tart taste with a moderate acidic finish.

A very complex Belgian-style amber /brown ale. Apples, wheat, spices, lots of dark fruits, and rich, sweet malt. Nice balance of sour, sweet, and a touch of bitter. Rich and tasty.

from 750ml bottle - need to find my notes from the Unibroue tasting at my local supermarket. Always a favorite at my house.

Poured a hazy orange with white head that dissipated quickly. Very malty aroma with hints of dark fruits and a little bit of citrus. Typical of Unibroue, it is over carbonated. The flavor was sweet and it went down really easy.

Cloudy golden color with a carbonated fizzy tan head that dissipates quickly. Strong citrus malt aroma with a blandish citrus flavor with spices and tongue tickling carbonation. Sweet flavor and carbonation hang around after this medium bodied drink is finished.

Cloudy amber. I’ve had this before, but not in a long time. The aroma is almost like a cross between a good saison and a sour, very earthy. The flavor is bitter and sour all at the same time. I think this is the most complex beer that is in the normal Unibroue line.

Bottle, Ale Cellar, Darlington. Seem to recall having this at Quinns years ago; It didn’t make a lasting impression then and was similar on this occasion too. Poured a muddy orangey brown with a thin tan head. Spicy, yeasty,fruity aroma. Flavour slightly cloying with caramel, yeast and alcohol which overwhelms the spice. Something slightly clumsy and boozy about this which just isn’t that enjoyable. Won’t be seeking out again.
