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 a 750 ml. bottle. It pours a cloudy, mahogany brown with a lng lasting tan head. Fermented in the bottle so the yeast aromas are strong upon opening, along with hops and maybe clove. Solid mouthfeel. Hops in the flavor tone down the strong alcohol flavor to balance it off in good fashion. Finishes mildly dry.

Beautiful brown body with a fluffy head. Aroma is malty, sweet, belgian sugar, plums, spice and yeast. Fruity, banana and cloves too. Flavor is sweet with mellow spice, banana, plum and brown sugar. This is on draft, have had many times in a bottle but this is just awesome. So smooth and delicious.

phaleslu (3182) - Saint Louis, Missouri, USA - OCT 21, 2009
Bottle from The Party Source. Pours cloudy amber with a big rocky beige head. Aroma of malts, dried dark fruits, clove, red apple, and alcohol. Flavor is also malty, with the dark dried fruit, clove and mild spices, alcohol, and red apple. Signature Unibroue-ness to it in both the aroma and flavor. Smooth, medium bodied, with a sweet, fruity finish. Another great one from Unibroue.

Chipper (280) - Red Lion, Pennsylvania, USA - OCT 19, 2009
Mahogany pour with a moderate off-white head. Lot’s of dried fruit and a little smokey aroma. Flavor is slightly sweeter, dried fruit and the alcohol is present and warming. Very nice.

UPDATED: SEP 1, 2011 750mL bottle - pours a dark amber into chalice. Spices, clove, coriander and yeast characterize this spicy Belgian Strong. Finishes somewhat spicy and yeasty, with a medium mouthfeel. Solid.

Dark in color with a rich flavor profile. The fruity character is more of cherry rather than citrus which goes along with its appearance and roasted flavor. I liked these flavors mixed with spices which caught me off guard, but definitely makes sense. I would say this was good because of its high alcohol content and balance of flavors, but I prefer a Blonde Strong Ale. I can totally see why others would love this beer even more than I do. I would definitely drink again.
