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 ; pour is fairly clear dark golden Amber, with a modest off white head in this glass. The nose is dark fruits, sweetbreads, spices, cinnamon really. The flavor profile is sweet and spicy, with a very modest hop bitterness, bready malts, cinnamon and Brown sugar, and dark fruits.

Caramel, cereal, herbs, earthiness, butterscotch, vanilla, and raisin infiltrate my nostrils. There is slight sweetness with a wine like finish, complete with a tinge of alcohol. The ale is a hazy amber-brown, with a one inch head that fades quickly to a sheen. There is lively carbonation in this medium bodied brew, and a bit of creaminess. Sort of a cherry or quad component to it as it warms. Relatively easy to drink, despite the complexities and 8% ABV.

Poured a hazy garnet color with a nice off- white head. Aroma was raisin, spice, and yeasty. Taste some caramel sweetness, figs, and bread. Silky mouthfeel. Very good.

Bottle. Hazy amber color with a modest off-white head. The nose is a bit spicy, some sweet malts, spices, ginger, dark fruits. The taste is moderately sweet, a bit yeasty. Light bitter finish. Light alcohol finish. The palate is medium, a bit slick. Overall, nice effort.

keanex (191) - Williamstown, New Jersey, USA - DEC 23, 2011
Poured from a 12 ounce bottle into a tulip glass.

A: Deep garnet, almost opaque with a towering light tan head.

S: Oaky malty hints to it with a yeasty spicy fruity smell.

T: I don’t know why this reminds me of an oak aged beer, but something about it does. Fruity and malty with an oaky character to it.

M: Medium thickness, a tad syrupy, with good carbonation.

O: I won’t buy it again, but it was a darn good beer and worth trying once.

Bottle served in a tulip. Pours near clear burnt orange with a medium off-whtie head. Good rention and lacing. Aroma of spice and tomato. Medium sweet flavor. Medium-light body. Good for a belgian-style amber, but lacks complexity for a a high rating.

The smell of dark fruit and spices billows out of the neck of my 750ml bottle after uncorking. In the glass the beer is a beautiful dark amber with a huge white naturally carbonated head. Once the head subsides I can definitely pick out the smell of spicy Belgian yeast with the addition of an assortment of brewer spices. The first taste registers as sweet then spicy. As I swallow I’m left with a slight dryness then a warming sensation left over from the alcohol. The balance is outstanding. I’m left with the lasting taste impressions of warmth from the alcohol complimented with candy sweetness. A great example of a Belgian Dubbel. I’m definitely loving this beer on a cold and quiet winter night in the Appalachian mountains.
