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.

12oz bottle from total wine in norfolk. pours cloudy, dark amber with a thick, bubbly, light tan head. aroma is very nice with tart fruit notes of plum, green apple, and lemon zest with hints of raisins, belgian spice, cedar wood, and caramel malts. flavor is very good as well with tart cherry and red grapes up front balanced by dry, toasted malts, clove, and brown banana with notes of grass and spice on the finish. mouthfeel is medium bodied and brightly carbonated without a hint of alcohol. overall, a very nice belgian strong.

02-OKT-2009, bottle @home. Brownish a bit dull colour with nice off-white head. Nice malty aroma with charamel, wood, and citrus mostly in the form of oranges. Taste is malty as well, with a bit dusty woody flavours. Long citrus aftertaste. It goes a bit watery in the middle, and I would have liked a little more creaminess. Nice carbonation, but is it disappearing a bit too fast? My second beer from Unibroue, and again a lovely beer. Is it true they do not brew any more? If so what a pitty.

Bottle. Pours deep amber with a thick, frothy, beige head. Aroma of raisins, roasted malt, spice, and hints of apple. Full body, with a heavy, bold finish. Another outstanding Belgian Strong from Unibroue. Party on Wayne! Party on Garth!

Great smell of malt, fruit and alcohol. Although the taste is overwhelmed with the bite of alcohol. It doesn’t allow a lot of the flavours to come through. Feels like I’m drinking a hard liquor rather than a beer.

Bottle. Cloudy red with 2 finger head that disappears quickly, leaving a ring. Nice fruity aroma, cherry & plum being most apparent. Taste is also of cherries, balanced by a dry, alcoholic finish. The 8% alcohol manifests in almost a brandy-like fashion. Mouthfeel is almost perfect. Another winner for Unibroue.

Almost no alcohol taste is apparent even though it comes in at 8%. Great hazy pour with an off white head. nose of banana and spice. slight spice on the initial taste, very clean and refreshing on the palate.

12oz bottle. How the hell is this 8%? Baffling. Pours a very dark brown. Well it was dark in the room, so I think it was dark brown. No hint of the alc.% all, so damn easy to drink. Solid brew overall. Didn’t have that wine taste I recongized in the Trois Pistols or La Fin Du Monde. Would definately drink this again.

Pours cloudy chestnut brown, medium beige head, with fine lasting lacing. Rich aroma of toast, plum, toffee, grass, and leather. Medium-full body, zesty. Big, complex, rich malt flavors, toast, plum, grape, banana, some spice, and citrus. Mild grassy finish. Pleasantly sweet but balanced. Similar in flavor and style to a double, but stronger.
