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.

Unibroue consistently brews a high-quality product. And by high, I mean Himalayan. Maudite for me is no exception, possibly even my current favourite of their year-round offerings.

Appearance: A cloudy copper-red.

Aroma: A bouquet of sugar, cloves, and dark cherries.

Taste: Wheat, perhaps something akin to a faint peanut brittle...I can’t resist simply calling it, "ambrosia."

Palate: spritzy and quenching. As the Unibroue people describe it themselves, a cognac-like finish.

Overall: What a brew! This one is great all by itself. Also try it with hearty foods that otherwise might get the chianti or merlot treatments: pasta, tomato-based dishes, red meat (beef stew!), or artisanal pizza. A clear winner all-around.

Serving type: bottle

Have had this one in the cellar a while, finally decided to break it out and it does not disappoint. Fantastic looking coppery color, thick white small bubble head, decent lacing and retention. Brilliant aroma, oh so good, plums, graham crackers, a sweetness to it. Palate is full of small bubbles, tart and sweet all at once, sugary, with some warmth. Loved this.

On Tap at the Father’s Office, Culver City. Nose: phenols, sweet yeast, plums and sour apple. Pours: reddish brown with full tan head. Flavor: begins with sweet plum and cranberries with and earthy grassy dry hop finish in the throat. Medium to medium heavy body, medium carbonation. Drinkability is medium to high. Kind of like a less intense Trois Pistoles and really weak Judgment Day. Still, though, very nice and very enjoyable.

This is my second offering from Unibrou, my first being La Fin Du Monde. In comparison, I think the latter is better, but this defintely holds it’s own. This pours a reddish dark amber, with a light brown head. It’s aroma has some licorice, and burnt sugar, with a hint of raisin. The flavor follows obediently, being very similar to the aroma. Good beer, from a good brewer. Cheers!

This strong ale is number 21 on my quest at beerfest in Sept. 08. I am pretty drunk now but I am still coherient and my mission is stil clear. Try every beer on my list. Beers like this one helped me reach nirvana today.

MIrky, malty appearance with a thin head on pour. The bottle has a wine cork effect to allow for freshness of malts when drinking. The smell is pleasant but taste is similar to a lager. Overall, tasty and memorable.
