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.

12 oz Bottle, $2.99 @ Kegs & Barrels in McKinney, TX. Pours a nice hazy amber with very nice off-white head with excellent retention. Aroma was obvious before my nose hit the glass, aroma of nice fruity citris with notes of bannana and clove. Flavor was nice with strong caramel malt and nice yeasty bannana and clove flavor, with nice alcohole spice to complement. Palate was full with medium carbonation....GREAT beer!.

The beer pours a lively amber with a thin off white head. The nose is a mix of sweet fruit and light yeast. The taste is great mixing sweet fruits with a good balance of spices and yeast. The mouth feel is very carbonated.

Unibroue Maudite is a hazy brown/amber ale with yeast resting in the bottom. The aroma is full of bananna, apples, cloves and other fruits with a nice undertone of alcohol. The flavor is also very sweet with a dry end leaving the taste of alcohol in the throat.

Bottle. Aroma of yeasty esters that present themselves in an odd Fruity Pebbles way. Caramel and toffee behind, but the yeast component dominates. Pours a dark ruby/copper with a thin skin of an off white head. Plenty of yeast on the palate with green pepper, dry crass and slightly soured citrus fruit. Medium bodied with a ton of carbonation leading to a slightly vinous finish. Thanks Matt!

Pours reddish brown with off white head. Bready aroma with typical Unibroue yeast smell. Slightly sweet flavor with some yeast and spices. Meduim body with prickly carbonation. A good Belgian strong ale.

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy hazzlenut brown with a dense off-white head. Yeasty aroma with a notes of caramel malt. Flavour is mild fruity, yeasty, and with a mild and somewhat dry caramel malt. Light yeast fruity finish.

Bottle 33 cl. This is definitively not as good as I first thought. Looks beatiful but tastes like... Hmm.. Nothing actually, a bit vinous and som red berries, but not much more.

Knowing the legends and stories behind a beer before you drink it really makes a huge difference on your enjoyment of the brew. In this instance, the story was told by Rick Swarez, from Unibroue, at an excellent beer tasting I attended. As for the beer itself: I was first greeted by a devilish looking ale, crimson/caramel brown to an amberish, red hue and topped with a sinister white head. My nostrils were infiltrated with caramel maltiness (perfectly balanced) toffee, cinammon, cloves and brown sugar, which all mingled on the tongue. The beer is excellently crafted, remniscent of a lighter style abbey dubbel with smooth, velvety, well-rounded maltiness and an ever-so haunting alcohol presence, ending with a bittersweet cocoa finish. Terrifyingly good.
