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.

75 cl bottle, from Ølkonsortiet in Aalborg.. Brown color, big off-white head. Malt, caramel, dark fruit and a bit citric. Balanced, but not very complex.

Poured into a trappist glass at 55F degrees. 12 oz bottle Pours a murky dark brown color with a medium tan frothy head. Nose is decent at first with sharp sourness but once settled mild spices and dark fruits. Initial taste is a tingling fizzy mouthfeel with sweet malts. Background of darkfruits and spices. Alcohol is well masked. Finishing with a mild bitterness and average palate duration. Found this one to be not so complex. Some lacing of the glass and good head retention. Very drinkable.

Had this beer on 7/2/2007. Aroma is a sweet malt scent. Color is an orange/brown with very good carbonation a fizzy loose head. Taste is rich, malty and sweet. Starting with a full body it goes down with a fizzy yet creamy feel. Finish comes out of the fizz with a mellow sweet malt flavor that builds to a fruity yeast taste and ends with a gentle bitterness. Overall It has a nice Belgian taste with a nice rich body. Well balanced and very drinkable.

Bottle; poured a copper color with large, frothy, off white head. Aroma was dominated by the familiar Unibroue yeast smell; also hints of fruit, dark fruit, and spice. Soft, almost creamy palate. Found the alcohol presence rather minimal. Flavor was a blend of fruit, spice, yeast and brown sugar. Slightly sweet overall. Flavor was good, but not exceptional.

This reddish-brown ale poured with no head, eliciting a sharp fruity aroma. When served at refrigerator temperature, there is a strong sweet cherry flavor with a cloying medicinal finish. At room temperature the spices become much more apparent. When warmed even more, the spices blend with the fruit flavor to produce a more mellow taste. But it’s pretty good at any temperature.

Had on tap at Brews. Poured a nice dark copper color. Sweet malty smell. I am quickly becoming a fan of Unibroue. They make some very drinkable and enjoyable beers and this was no different. Sweet and malty, with some cinnamon and figs...

Ok so I have never been a fan of Unibroue for whatever reason, and that may reflect what I think of this. Might be the style too, sweetness just isn’t my thing. Dark sweet and a little fruity, it looks cool in the snifter but the taste just doesnt seem to last long enough. Maybe its a little too thin, maybe too much carbonation?
