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.

Complex aroma: gumball, funk, spice, brown sugar. Hazy brown, with a dense, active tan head, leaves a generous lacing. Sweet with raw sugar and raisins, malty, alcohol well hidden among gumball, cinnamon, and generalized fruits. Some toffee on the finish. Creamy, leaves a lingering mulled smoothness on the palate.

Pours a murky dark copper colour with a thin white head. Smells of soft fruit, cloves, cinnamon and yeast. Tastes of soft over-riped fruits, some sour apple cloves, cinnamon and the distinct unibroue yeast taste. Good complex beer

Dense and deceiving pour - leaves the bottle as any other liquid would, but the thickness makes for an appealing aesthetic. Thick, lingering head with generous lacing. Cloudy appearance throughout with a lighter overlay displaying a sort of gradient at the top of the glass. Light and springy aroma sure to complement any hearty meal due to its Sweet and delightful taste with very little underlying bitterness. Leaves the lips with a slightly sticky sheath and touches the touch with a pang of sweetness and spice.

12 oz. bottle into a tumbler. Purchased at New Grocery and Deli. Aroma of overripe dark fruits. It makes me feel like I’m in a stone garden surrounded by vines. Slightly malty n the aroma as well. Medium brown appearance with a thick creamy head that dissipates to almost nothing quickly. Very creamy and fruity. Leaves an almost whipped-cream like feel in your mouth after drinking. Very smooth and enjoyable taste. Good balance. Carbonated yet smooth palate. Defnetely drinkable, while still providng lots to ponder and enjoy. Hghly reccomended.

Bottle. Poured a cloudy brown color with a one finger off white head. Aroma of spices and yeasty notes. Flavor was sweet with spice and some sugar, and fruity notes too. Good beer.

Pours a medium brown with an off white head of tiny bubbles. Aroma is nutmeg and yeast. Faint spices. Flavors are clove and spice. It is very earthy and has just a bit of fruit flavor. Pepper spice that zings the tongue. The zing builds as it warms. Moderate alcohol taste and warming. Another nice beer by Unibroue.

Bottle. Pours cloudy amber with white frothy head. Great retention. Aroma is of spice, yeast, and cherry. Flavor is malty. Mouth feel is a bit watery.

Simply amazing! Poured an amber color with a slightly orange hue. Lots of tiny bubbles exploding from the clear body. Head is made up of millions of bubbles, but has a smooth, creamy texture. Aroma is packed! Extremely well-balanced between sweet malts, caramel, citrus, and alcohol. Taste is very similar. This beer is very similar to a Belgian tripel, but balanced equally with a nice malty richness. Palate is lively and smooth, but has a bit of a short finish. Overall, a tremendous beer! To date, a top 5 in my opinion!
