Unibroue Maudite

Cold 750ml corked bottle: Pours a clear dark copper color with some sediment and a quickly gone small fizzy alabaster head. Aroma is of rich malt, sharp yeast, dark fruit (cherries) and some light earth notes. Taste is of rich malt and sharp yeast well blended with lightly earthy hops. Some sour notes in the middle. Light to medium bodied and crisp with high carbonation. Ending is of sweet malt into cherries. Yum! :)

My fav of the Unibroue - tastes way better in Canada but still damned good in the States. Definately has that fruity/yeasty taste, similar to Fin du Monde but this has a bit more kick. Yum!

Pours an orange-brown with a large head that recedes rather slowly, thus guaranteeing the drinker a foam moustache. In any event, this is another very good Belgian from Unibroue which, so far can seemingly do no wrong. Though a little watery compared to other Belgian Strong Ales, it has a full array of honey, brown sugar, a pinch of citrus, and some dark berry. Recommended.

Sampled during Cellar’s Wine & Spirits Wednesday evening tasting via Unibroue representative. Pours a hazy dark brown amber brew with a fast dissolving off-white head. Aroma of roasted caramel malt, some roasted nuts, yeast and dried dark fruits. Taste is medium bodied, with flavors of multi-grain malt, some extra yeast, dark fruits and a touch of spice. Finish is semi-dry with a malty grain aftertaste that has a second finish of tart berries and yeast. A multi-personality Belgian Ale best describes this beer.

Appearance: Dark brown, cloudy. Little bit of head. Aroma: Fruity, malty. Taste: Nutty, malty, juicy. Info: 330ml bottle, 6/12-2005, 61/300, 39/500

Haven’t had this beer in years. Wow, what am I thinking about? This is a great beer. Competes with the best Belgians and the best of the American Belgians. Better than anything on that little list below us including the Westy 8 and The Rochefort 8.

Golden cloudy pour with a small white head. Malty aroma with a bit of spice. Sweet flavor of light fruits and spices and the alcohol comes through a bit towards the end.

Bottle into chalice. Pours cloudy brown with gargantuan pillowy , off-white head that settled in but stuck around for quite awhile. Aroma is kind of subdued -- yeasty, spicy, bit of sweet dark fruit. Taste is interesting -- prickly carbonation combines up front with spicy yeast and bittersweet dark fruits, opens up and finishes with spicy yeast, bittersweet dark fruits, with a lingering, dark fruit and licorice bitterness on the finish. Mouthfeel has the carbonation spot on, but a bit watery. Interesting take on the style, great beer but has potential to be even better with a bit less watery mouthfeel.
