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.

Aroma of malt, herbs, and yeast. Appearance is a hazy medium brown with some sediment. The flavor has quite an alcohol kick for only 8%. I taste cheese and a lot of malt with some spices. A little bit of citrus but not that much fruit taste, which is what I expected, but still a very good beer. Sticky buttery aftertaste.

(Bottle, Akkurat, Stockholm) Reddish amber colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of caramel, dried fruit and orange peel. Malty, fruity taste with caramel, dark fruit, wild berries and spicy hops in the finish. Balanced sweetness. A nice shot at the style. In short: spicy caramel.

Pour is a nubilous amber to copper color, the head behemothic in size and creamy in its consistency, the lace thick glutinous sheets that seal themselves to the glass. Aroma of ripe plums, sweet with hints of yeast and malt, quite pleasant to senses. Start is sweet, the top middling in mouth feel, the finish tart, the carbonation biting and the hops masterful in their spicy presence, dry somewhat alcohol bitter aftertaste lingers on. It is hard for me to say if I like La Fin Du Monde or Maudite better, guess it’s a tie and I will have to sample a few dozen more times to break that tie? Oh what about Trois Pistoles? A three way tie what a shame.

Yeast, yeast, yeast. Aroma is reminiscent of kid’s vitamins (citric acid?) Flavor reminds me of kumquats stolen in my youth. Zesty carbonation. I’m guessing that good Belgian ale tastes like this, but I have yet to find one.

Sampled from bottle at Danish Beer Festival 2004 (#41).
Light amber colored, ok head. Aroma of pilsener malt, some spices and hops, triple-like and quite ordinary. Flavor is malt, hops, fruit (oranges and pineapple) and spices. Sweet and mild.

Very nice, spicy and vineous aroma. Poured a semi-opaque mauve with a great head. Flavor was very spicy and belgian like, with stressed yeast, much like a tripel. A great drink, only lacking in assertiveness and intensity.

Hazy dark amber color with a medium fizzy off-white head. Very spiced aroma. Sweet spiced flavor with some light hints of fruit.

Unibroue makes the best beers at stronger alcohol levels and this one is no exception. I really enjoyed the balance here and the murky brown appearance. Spicy notes and malt character abounds. Fantastic.
