Unibroue Maudite

Brewed by Unibroue (Sapporo)
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Chambly, Canada

thick white head that lingers for a bit but vanishes rather quick. good lacing though. strong malt (deep fruits) and a bit of alcohol undertone. with its deep colour, held to light is a hazy dark copper. taste was full malt with very slight hop and even slighter yeast.

From a 12oz bottle into a snifter. Pours with 4-5 inches of thin white head which takes a few minutes to dissipate leaving no lacing. Color is brown-auburn and cloudy. Aroma is of plums and other dark fruit, very nice. Taste is Sweet but not syrupy. Flavors are plums, grapefruit, brown sugar and some spice, like very mild chilis. Mouthfeel is excellent; light and smooth, not heavy or syrupy. Perfect for this beer. An overall good beer, tasty and solid, even with 8% abv, I could drink a few of these in one night. Can’t say that for many hight abv beers.

Black robe with dark red notes. Foamy head that last! The smells smells...pepper,oranges, black cherries and caramel. Very complex but refined taste where hops,yeast and roast explode in the mouth with a floral and charcoal finish...ayoye

Tap. Mahogany pour. Offwhite clingy head. Aroma and taste of fig, black cherry, and maybe a couple other fruits. Pretty darn good stuff.

750ml bottle. drank out of snifter. aroma is of intense malts and spices, banana and clove. a bit of cognac in there too. pours an orangy brown with a frothy off white head and leaves some nice lacing. flavour is sweet, but not too sweet. an assertive hop finish makes this wonderful beer from unibroue nicely balanced.

spicy, ginger scent. dark with light lacing, minimal head. light bodied. i enjoyed this one quite a bit but the spiciness is a little much for me.

leaves a nice final impression like I just ate a big alchoholic brownie with cherry bits in it .

A: Pours a nice hearty robust red color with a medium head into the Maudite Tulip....how else would you drink it? There is a steady stream of small bubbles rising to the top which keeps this red brew bubbling like lava. S: Nice malty aroma with tons of dark fruits noted. I smell Figs, Black Cherries, and a hint of dried Apricot. Behind all of that there is a mild hoppiness to this brew. I detect a slight aroma of orange peel. Refined.... I think so! T: Quite possibly the best brew to come out of Canada. It is right up there with La Fin Du Monde another Unibroue offering. I actually think I prefer this one though. There is just more substance to it. I taste tons of nice sweet malty fruits. Cherries, Apricots, Orange, and Peach. The Malty backbone is splendid but there is a wee bit of hops in here with the taste of lemon or lime zest. It’s complex yet very refined. I love the Unibroue beers and Canada should hang their hat on these because it is NO DOUBT ABOUT IT...it is the best they have to offer. M: Medium bodied. Slightly effervescent, yet very drinkable.
