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, Auchan Illkirch-Graffenstaden, 2007. Hazy amber colour, large white head. Malty nose. Full-bodied, malty and very fruity with a touch of caramel. Pleasantly hoppy in the lingering finish. Delicious.

Gouts de fruits confits, noisettes et caramel encore une fois dominer par la levure phenolique de Unibroue. Candied fruits, hazelnuts and caramel tastes... again overwhelmed by Unibroues phenolic yeast.

Not too bad. This one is a strong one. Has a nice dark brown, deep hazy color. Smell of strong malts with hints of smoke, roasty caramel, yeast. Nice thick head. Tastes as it smells, full of malts and yeast. After the first couple of sips I wasnt sure if I liked it. But then it started to warm up to me. Its pretty darn good stuff. Has a pleasant aftertaste. Another quality drink from Unibroue.

Bottle (in NZ). A gusher, but finally poured with a hazy copper hue and a large foamy head. Plenty of alcohol on the nose, along with toffee and hints of tropical fruits. Fruity and yeasty, with warming malt on the palate, and an underlying spicyness.

Big foamy looking head that sticks around for quite a while. Body is a cloudy (muddy) brown color. Aroma of cloves and other spices along with a chock full of fruit smells, mostly banana. Bitterswwet front that melts into sweetness and then brings out a dry and bitter aftertaste. Banana taste is in there, along with a pleasant amount of hops. Pretty nice beer overall, worth trying by all people.

The first time I had this beer was 5 years ago. The bottle was a birthday gift from my ex.father.in.law. He siad he thought it was a cool label. I do not think he knew what the meaningof the name was. Pours a slightly hazy reddish brown. White foamy head. Aroma of belgian yeast, figs, dates, rich malt. Very complex scent. Flavor is a strong bodied malt. Lots of dark dried fruits. More complex flavors than in the aroma. Wow. Overall this bottle reminds me of a heavy doppelbock made with a belgian yeast. Happiness in a warm glass. I could have a tap of this in the house and never leave again.
