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.

750 ml. bottle. Head of small bubbles, lingering, nice brownish orange color, good yeasty nose, complementing other fruit and spice aromas, light in the mouth, with good carbonation. Finishes slightly sour.

Pours an amber-brown with noticeable sediment and a bubbly off-white head that persists and leaves thin lacing. A sour-fruit aroma with some spicy notes. Crisp, bright, very carbonated with a light mouthfeel. Spicy start with some sweet, fruity flavors, something like apricot, amd a slightly sour finish with a lingering aftertaste.

Bottled, pours hazy orange with a an off-white head. Nose of yeast, spice and fruit. Flavour of citrus fruit, apple, peach and malt. Full bodied. Pleasant aftertaste too. Very enjoyable.

lots of spice in the aroma, with some fruit as well. the spice comes through in the flavor with some heavy fruit flavors. i think i would have enjoyed it more with food.

355ml bottle, BB 24-07-09. Pours a murky bronze body with big dense offwhite foam. Distintive spicy nose that seems commonplace with these Unibroue beers, but with a bit more to it; brown sugar, sour apple, blackberry, cherry, plum, clove, cinamon, raisin, pepper, alcohol, very complex. Carbonation is a bit low, syrupy sort of body, has some tartness about it with alcohol making itself present on the finish. Body reflects the nose, spicy dark and dried fruits, some vanilla and bread, sweetened with a dark brown sugar element. Quite a different from any Belgian-style strong ales i’ve tried, particularly tart and spicy for a darker beer, yet intriguingly tasty.

Nice looking beer. Copper in color with creamy white head that remains the whole time. Not much of a nose, other then some brown sugar. Some classic ripened fruits that I tend to taste in this kind of beer. Little bit of vanilla on the back end followed by a touch of sourness. And then things go not so good. The beer ends too crisp and dry in my opinion. The end of my gulps taste like, or I should say, feel like green bottle lager.

Tap. Copper pour with a big head that ended up leaving me rather quickly. The aroma a mixture of darker fruity malts and lots of yeasty spice. Much of the same in the flavor. Dark fruits like cherries, dates, plums and the like, as well as lots of spicy yeast and a little alcohol. Light lingering yeast and fruit, but it seemed rather clean really. Pleasant stuff.

...bottle from Cloudwine. DIdn’t expect this brew to be so good, and the label desigh was badass. Color was a cloudy coppery brown, with a small off-white head, that wasn’t lasting, but who cares. On the nose, it was pleasant fruit aromas like cherries, grapes, some apple, spices, and yeast. Mouthfeel was medium bodied, with nice complex, malty\yeasty\fruity flavors. Alcohol was well hidden, and almost non-existant. Strong yeasty finish, which I find a strong point in these types of beers, with lingering fruit flavors, and slight bitterness that make you want more. Impressive.
