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.

What can I say, I just tried this finally after heavily enjoying the Unibroue white beer (Blanche de Chambly) and the 8% Alcohol rating had me a little skeptical of it. Pours an incredibly rich and cloudy amber/red color, a sightly yellow head, and wonderful aromas of spice. Tastes like coriander and some sweet fruit in the background, slightly spicy, all around superb. I can’t tell you how surprised I am to be enjoying this as much as I am. Will be purchasing again ASAP. Can’t wait to try Trois Pistoles and Fin du Monde next. 4/5

Pours a red-brown, slightly on the dark side in color with a thick, creamy, off-white head that stays around for a great amount of time. Aroma consists of a light cinnamon, a decent amount of pilsner note, light yeast note, a mild spicy finish. Flavor has an apple, grape and caramel sweetness, light yeast bite, light orange peal spice, mild cinnamon notes, a very light dark fruit -plum/prune note and finishes with a very leafy spicy note. Density is much less than the normal Unibroue brew with almost no hint of alcohol but a very light feel. Overall the combination of light sweetness, higher spicy notes and a light palate make for a very good but different beer by Unibroue.

What’s Interesting about the Uinibroues is that the color of the label represents the flavor. Maudite tastes very "red" as Troid Pistoles tastes very "purple." It’s good for getting a buzz on, and if you want to drink beer with the devil on it. That’s gotta stand for something.

Tap. Dark reddish brown, 5mm white head. Aroma is big on malt, yeast, coriander and other spices, slightly funky and acidic. Flavour is very malty, like a brune, quite a lot of spices here, and a herbal hop finish. Medium body, the carbonation was a bit too much on the sparkly side for me. Tasty brew.

Bottle. Another solid beer. The abv just adds to the flavor and finish with a slight warming. Taste is otherwise distinct and complex . NIce beer.

Probably the best beer I’ve ever had. Had to leave a little wiggle room in case I’m wrong. I will definitely be seeking out other Unibroue offerings.
