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 cloudy magnificent orange with a mediujm tan head that shows beautiful lacing on the glass. Nose is orange, apricot, honey. Flavor of honey, peppery yeast, apricot, orange peel. Fairly sweet and malty. Finishes crisp, flowery, and light. Alcohol is mildly and pleasantly present. As it warms a funky, musty cheese flavor comes towards the end of the swallow. I love it love it love it.

Unibroue consistently brews a high-quality product. And by high, I mean Himalayan. Maudite for me is no exception, possibly even my current favourite of their year-round offerings.

Appearance: A cloudy copper-red.

Aroma: A bouquet of sugar, cloves, and dark cherries.

Taste: Wheat, perhaps something akin to a faint peanut brittle...I can’t resist simply calling it, "ambrosia."

Palate: spritzy and quenching. As the Unibroue people describe it themselves, a cognac-like finish.

Overall: What a brew! This one is great all by itself. Also try it with hearty foods that otherwise might get the chianti or merlot treatments: pasta, tomato-based dishes, red meat (beef stew!), or artisanal pizza. A clear winner all-around.

Serving type: bottle

Poured a cloudy amber with minimal head although visibly effervescent. Mildly malty/fruity aroma. Palate was medium body with carbonation most prominent regarding mouth feel. Strikes me as a combination of a dubbel and strong ale with it’s fruity flavors and aroma. This was Unibroue was alright but not something I’d pick up again.

Bottle from Dublin. Murky red, beige head, lively carbonation. Very Belgian yeast character. Sweet fruit - peaches and sour cherries. Nuts, flowers. Crisp hoppy finish. An excellent beer that would be perfect with some ripe cheese.

Found this one a thick amber/ orange color, with a beige tinted head. It smells sweet with a hint of tartness. The taste is deep and darts all over. Fruitier than I expected with sugar highlights and it saves the alcohol burn for the end.

Pours a dark amber color. The smell is somewhat tart, Not bad just different. The taste however is really good, like an explosion of fruit tittilating the palate, bearing a slightly metallic flavor and just a hint of alcohol late in the tasting expierience. All in all it has been a good expierience and is well worth the money.

Dark abmer with medium thick head. Smells of fruity metallic notes.m First taste is sweet. There is a slight bitter aftertaste which is most likely caused by the 8% Alc.. Sweet devil on bottle. Bottle at Bottlescrew Bill’s Calgary, AB.
