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.

333 ml. Medium amber brown. Pours an inviting huge frothy white mouse head. Effervescent carbonation. Rich aroma, malty, bready and toast backed by spicy cloves and just a hint of earthy herbal spice from noble hops. Smooth malty sweetness up front just barely balanced by hop bitterness. Balance is to the sweet side but is not at all cloying. Alcohol warmth in the nose and mouth but only after the swallow. Very subtle in this regard for an 8.0% beer - you could easily drink a lot of this before you realized how far gone you were! Some cloves in flavour but very clean. Be careful not to pour the last bit of the bottle - the yeast bite from the conditioning yeast is a bit too sharp and mars the overall beer. Don’t be greedy - there is so much deliciousf beer power in this bottle that you don’t need every last drop!

12 oz bottle pours a cloudy red amber with a medium frothy white head. Aroma of yeast, sweet malt and some spices. This beer has a very nice body. Sweetness of fruit, honey or toffee come through on the taste with a certain spiciness toward the end. A very nice ale with a sneaky amount of alcohol.

Rich brown color, with a creamy white head. Rich hop flavor, creamy feel, smooth carbonation and a slightly bitter aftertaste. Excellent beer.

330 mL bottle. Pours a nice reddish -brown. Head resides after just a few minutes. A very enjoyable beer! Aroma is spicy, but not overwhelming. Effervescent quality is perfect! The commercial description is accurate in the fact that it is a fairly versatile beer. Could go with a meal or by itself. A very drinkable strong ale. This defines the Unibroue style for me. Highly recommended.

12 oz from 8btl variety pack. Took advantage of the variety pack to sample 6 different offerings from this highly rated brewery. I’ve not sampled many Belgian Strong Ales, so I don’t have much to compare this with, so I will just go with how I enjoyed it. Cloudy deep amber color, extremely carbonated white head that finished a light tan. Slightly sweet and easy going down, with the alcohol kicking butt down the back of the throat. This is going to be one fun sampling.
