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.

330mL bottle from restaurant. Pours cloudy and light brown. Aroma and taste are typical delicious Belgian spiciness. Another great Unibroue beer.

magdalar (292) - Zurich, SWITZERLAND - DEC 6, 2011
Bottle. Pours a hazy amber, with a white head. Smells strongly of alcohol and citrus and some malt; reminds me of some poorly balances tripels. Tastes like a standard tripel. Too strong alcohol. Like a Maheur 12, but less balanced.

pineypower (1735) - Pine Barrens, New Jersey, USA - DEC 4, 2011
Bottle, have no idea how I haven’t rated this before. Pours out a moderately dark copper color with a small white head. Aroma is of coriander, lemon zest, yeast and light fruity notes. Taste is spice, lavender, light coriander, apples, caramel and some lingering alcohol.

rougeau13 (1067) - Texas, USA - NOV 30, 2011
Clear red-amber with a small but resilient off-white head. Aroma of apples, raisins, bubblegum, caramel, spice and citrus. Taste is malty and yeasty; a little sweet and a little bitter. Slightly dry finish, medium body, average carbonation, slightly boozy. Nice.

Light head leaves a wonderful, bready, yeast aroma that also has a subtle sweetness to it. Look is that of stagnant pond water: a thin, cloundy, dingy brown. Taste has a grainy malt center with notes of banana and bread in a sea of intangible complexity with a slightly herbal mild hop character. Mouthfeel is light and amazingly smooth for being 8%. One of my all-time faves.

ralphdot (506) - Billingham, Durham, ENGLAND - NOV 30, 2011
8.0% cloudy brown colour with a thin but lasting head, not sure what the aroma is but it was slightly sweet, burnt caramel and prunes in the strong but nice taste.

Bottle shared with northropfrye. Toasted cloudy caramel colour. It wakes up my tastebuds with floral citrus.

vino (2) - California, USA - NOV 26, 2011 does not count
Aroma of raisins, caramel, alcohol, hint of citrus, hint of spice. Appearance of beautiful dark amber red...almost devil-like! Light sweetness with almost no bitterness that once again is enveloped with a little bit of sweetness on the finish. Medium body with light fizz. Nice lingering finish as well. I like the taste a lot but is a bit lighter then expected. Had this after the trying the other Unibroue, Eau Benite.
