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.

On tap at the Trion. I’ve had it many times from the bottle (and loved it), but this belgian strong is just amazing from the tap! Great malty nose, sweet taste, and creamy finish that just draws the malt lover deeper and deeper into a sublime state of revelation. One of my favorite beers from Unibrau, and I can never get tired of drinking this (truly, session - belgian strong) beer!

750ml bottle. Pours clear deep amber with a bubbly off white head that quickly fades to a ring. Aroma is lots of spicy Belgian yeast, caramel and a bit of alcohol. The flavor is a sweet caramel malt base with some spicy, earthy yeast and a balanced bitterness. Medium to full body with active carbonation and a long zesty finish. I have always loved this beer and this one is responsible for getting me to appreciate Belgian style beers.

12oz bottle from Market Square. Deep brown pour with a sturdy but small off-white head. Muted green apple and brown sugar aroma. Taste is crisp, bready, light spices, yeast and candied sugar. Finishes lightly bitter and dry.

Dark orange to brown and cloudy (I may have pour a bit too much yeast into mine) - the head literally billowed. The aroma is almost all classic Unibroue yeast. The taste is tart and yeast and shows off their house yeast. The finish has a hint of bitterness. I wish the feel was a bit more smooth instead of so carbonated.

Bottle from the Unibroue sampler - Pours deep rosy amber with a nice fluffy off white head. There’s light spice (clove?) on the nose, with lots of yeast, a little cherry, and some slightly sweet malt. It’s a bit sharp, with some noticeable alcohol on the end of the whiff. Tastes really bready, with a bit of spicy yeast on the finish, some candi sugar, and a small, boozy bite. Poured this one a little too cold and the carbonation really bit hard. Overall, I don’t really like the spice profile, it’s a little too sharp, and nothing else really stands out. Not my favorite from this brewery.

355mL bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a small off-white head that settles quickly to a ring. Earthy and slightly fruity aroma. Spicy and vinous flavours with a bit of caramel and fruit, and not much sign of the alcohol. None of the flavours seem to dominate. Medium bodied, lively carbonation, creamy with a slightly sour, hoppy, dry finish. Quite a nice beer.

12-oz bottle. Yeasty aroma with notes of citrus, apricot, bread, and clove. Interesting appearance, cloudy amber body with a tall, smooth, off-white head. Taste is lightly sweet with a hint of sourness and just a tiny bit of salt and paper napkin. Medium body with an oily texture. Average carbonation. Long finish. This is a beer that wants company. (Can’t blame the damned for that, now can we?)

Dark cloudy dull copper color with very tall bubbly head and good retention. Very little lacing; Very fruity earthy aroma; Taste is quite sweet and complex with light bitterness - good balance; Medium body with oily texture and soft carbonation; a touch of alcohol; long mild aftertaste slightly dry; nice beer and can easily drink an entire 750ml bottle.
