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.

Bottle. Pours a hazy brown color with lots of meringue head that has staying power. Aroma is vegetal with distinct belgian pepperiness. Flavor is a dry, mellow sweetness. Notes of dried fruit are subtle. Nice dryness and great carbonation.

im not sure what i am missing, this beer has great reviews but i just didnt care for it. aroma is nice, and appearance is nice, but im just missing on the flavor. i taste slight caramel and some fruit but it seems very faint and the carbonation is too much for me. not saying that its bad, but just not for me i guess.

degbert (641) - Austin, Texas, USA - APR 3, 2011
Bottle. Pours a hazy red-orange with a fine-grained head. The nose is nutty, malty, and phenolic. Very crisp on the mouthfeel, but with a slight latex overtone that muddles up the malty, fruity, and boozy flavors. Not my favorite by this brewery.

HopBurp (72) - Michigan, USA - APR 1, 2011
12 oz bottle in belgian beer glass. Pours with a nice 2 finger head and the lace lasts forever--beautiful and silky smooth. smells funky good. Appearance is a cider brown with the lace that appears w/ clean white tiny bubbles. Taste is so smooth, belgian yeast taste that is well integrated-- not over-powering, sour notes, fruity hops, perfect dryness and moderate bitterness. 8% incredibly well masked. developing finish of figs, dates--warming a tasty. Chronic.

RolkaNation (86) - Atlanta, Georgia, USA - MAR 30, 2011
Bottle poured into snifter. Nice, copper brown color with big, creamy head. Nose is a little light with hints of spice, yeast, and a champagne like quality. Taste is full of powerful dark fruit, more spice, slight vanilla, sweet carmel sugary malt and a great bittersweet finish. Lingers in the mouth nicely. Refreshing and flavorful beer.

Poured into a snifter. The beer pours a beautiful rich amber/mahogany color with a nice white head that is a little more than half an inch to begin with, and recedes very slowly. Maudite has a fall fruit aroma to me, apples, pears, and figs, mixed with spices, such as, clove, cinnamon, etc. A lot of flavor in this beer. I get a lot of apple and clove, with a hint of caramel. The strong alcohol is also present. Good amount of spice in the finish. Good clean mouthfeel, and very refreshing. I honestly forgot just how good this beer is. Great anytime beer, but I would choose it in the fall or winter.

grikmok (132) - Little Rock, Arkansas, USA - MAR 24, 2011
Poured into a trappist glass. Aromas of Belgian yeast and malts. A peculiar tannin kind of smell in the end of my sniffs, very interesting. Initial taste of malts and floral notes typical to Belgians. The end was dry with slight bitterness. Not bad.
