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.

Dark amber pour with spicy aroma. Thin white fizzy head. Taste of malt and yeast. Nice finish with some alcohol present.

Subtle, fruity aroma. Deep copper coloured with a thick white head that diminishes fairly quickly. Pleasant, fruity taste with a slight alcoholic bite. Not as strong tasting as I was expecting.

Mild aroma of spiced fruits. Similar flavor. It’s a good beer, but not as good as some of unibroue’s others.

Poured a darker color than the other ones that I got out of this sampler. Nice thick head. As for being a strong Ale, it was still a little too light and fruity for what I’ve been accustomed to with American Strong Ales. Overall pretty good, but not great.

12 oz-ish bottle->tulip glass: Pours a decent head that is rocky, white, and diminishes quickly. Lacing is spare, the body is hazy, and the particles make the beer somewhat cloudy, which adds to its reddish darkness. The malt is heavy, as are the hops, with some herbs (or as some may consider spices) intertwined in with a dry fruityness. There is a considerable smell of alcohol to this brew and perhaps raisin, licorice, and some cinnamon in very small amounts. The body is full, the texture is thick and there is soft carbonation, though I feel like the beer finishes with a metallic taste, though the duration of the flavor post sip, does last a tad longer than the average, which I almost always feel is a good thing. Not a favorite Unibroue, for me, but I wouldn’t pass it up in the colder months, though I think this beer’d be a little out of place in the summer.

Poured from bottle. Odd looking - color of pond water, tannish head persists. I smell malt, apple, spice, hint of alcohol. The flavor is, ahhhh, definitely Belgian. Cake, grapes, nut, oak, apple, banana, alcohol. Warm feel and smooth palate - I’m savoring each sip. Alcohol more present as it warms. Needless to say, it finished wonderfully. A fine beer.

bottled. Orange to Amber color, nice beige foamy. Aroma is fruity and sweet, note of malt. Flavor is balanced sweet, fruity and bitter, note of alcohol and malt. Mouthfeel is sweet with a smooth bitterness.

Português :Cerveja de cor laranja pra âmbar. Boa formação de espuma de cor bege e persistente. Aroma frutado e doce, notas de malte. Sabor equilibrado entre o frutado, doce e amargo, notas de álcool e malte. Retrogosto doce com um suave amargor.<P>

bottle. Pours a beautiful clouded dark amber. smells of yeasty goodness and dark fruits. Taste starts with malts and yeast and a little more alcohol than I expected but it seems like there is a bit of a void. A little watery in the middle. The mouthfeel is also a bit lighter than I expected. Very good brew, but not as good as some other Unibroue brews in my opinion.
