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.

Pours a cloudy amber with a beige head. Slightly sweet on the nose. Smooth into the mouth with a sweet/spiced swallow. Very little bitterness. Nice crisp finish/aftertaste. Tastes a bit like a brown ale to me, it more complex with a smooth delivery, but not heavy. Very good. Will have again.

ronaldtheriot (780) - Laplace, Louisiana, USA - APR 13, 2013

Maudite has a very thick, foamy, off-white head and a hazy, quite bubbly, amber appearance, with good lacing left on the glass. The aroma is of spicy, yeasty, fruity, coriander. Taste is of those elements, with sweetness, sugar, pepper, and a shade of alcohol. Mouthfeel is slimy and light to medium. Maudite finishes semi-dry, sweet, and drinkable. Overall, this is a most excellent beer. RJT

Great beer. I think Quebec always pushing the envelop in Canada when it comes to Belgium style craft beers. Great job!
