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.

From the bottle, as part of a sampler case my wife gifted to me a few years back. Not the best experience in drinking this strong beer and I wouldn’t revisit this one if given the opportunity.

Brown body, tan head. Aroma of sweet malt, caramel, and milk. Alcohol, berries, metal and rough yeast on flavour. Raisins.

Strong floral hops, great tangy aftertaste that ends in more latent florals. There’s a touch of sourness in the end but it isn’t unpleasant. One of the better Unibroues I’ve had so far. Also their best bottle picture...

De couleur ambrée opaque. Elle dégage toute une palette d’odeurs; de malt, d’épices; je perçois de la cannelle, de la coriandre, des vapeurs d’alcool montent aussi aux narines ainsi qu’une touche sucrée rappelant la marmelade. Sa palette gustative est assez bien garnie. Goût de levure, de malt, de houblon, d’épice qui s’activent à qui mieux-mieux dans la bouche, laissant une satisfaction palpable d’avoir bu, à nouveau, un classique.

330 ml bottle. From Illkirch, France.
Dark reddish brown colour with small to average size creamy light tan head. Malt, mild bitterness, Belgian style yeast and alcohol in aroma. Flavour is malt, Belgian yeast, mild caramel sweetness and alcohol. Smooth but thinnish. Typical American Belgian style Ale.

UPDATED: JAN 10, 2012 C’est un peu spécial de décrire la bière qui a changé ma vision de ce que devrait être une bière...et à cette époque, de comment se torcher la face sans boire un 40’. Maintenant que je la redécouvre, ce qui me saute aux yeux c’est à quel point c’est un chef d’oeuvre. Magnifique, fruité, ronde, légèrement épicé et chocolaté, robuste mais délicate. délicieux!.

Poured into a tumbler glass, dark brown, off color white head. Taste is thick molasses, sweet, and did I mention alcohol…nice. Complexity in this brew, fruity sweet flavor, hints of raisins, warming feeling, well balanced, heavy on the malt flavoring. Description is true, best served with heavier meals.

SPDickerman (326) - Texas, USA - NOV 2, 2011
Pours opaque dark brown with some tan fizz for a head. Smells incredibly malted with some actual sweetness. Tastes smooth and sweet but mellow, very pleasant. Full-bodied with a smooth texture and more than average mouth-carbonation, Maudite finishes with some lingering sweetness.
