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.

Great smell of malt, fruit and alcohol. Although the taste is overwhelmed with the bite of alcohol. It doesn’t allow a lot of the flavours to come through. Feels like I’m drinking a hard liquor rather than a beer.

Bottle. Cloudy red with 2 finger head that disappears quickly, leaving a ring. Nice fruity aroma, cherry & plum being most apparent. Taste is also of cherries, balanced by a dry, alcoholic finish. The 8% alcohol manifests in almost a brandy-like fashion. Mouthfeel is almost perfect. Another winner for Unibroue.

Almost no alcohol taste is apparent even though it comes in at 8%. Great hazy pour with an off white head. nose of banana and spice. slight spice on the initial taste, very clean and refreshing on the palate.

12oz bottle. How the hell is this 8%? Baffling. Pours a very dark brown. Well it was dark in the room, so I think it was dark brown. No hint of the alc.% all, so damn easy to drink. Solid brew overall. Didn’t have that wine taste I recongized in the Trois Pistols or La Fin Du Monde. Would definately drink this again.

Pours cloudy chestnut brown, medium beige head, with fine lasting lacing. Rich aroma of toast, plum, toffee, grass, and leather. Medium-full body, zesty. Big, complex, rich malt flavors, toast, plum, grape, banana, some spice, and citrus. Mild grassy finish. Pleasantly sweet but balanced. Similar in flavor and style to a double, but stronger.

PolishHammer (124) - Norwalk, Connecticut, USA - SEP 21, 2009
A really nice trappist strong ale, and a fantastic value! Dark red and amber colored beer with a beige head. Aroma and flavor match what a strong ale should...dark ripe stone fruits and burnt sugar. Perfect amount of alcohol warmth.

decimator (51) - Ontario, CANADA - SEP 19, 2009
UPDATED: SEP 20, 2009 750ml bottle poured in a pint glass.Poured a cloudy golden brown color with a big bubbly off-white head. Aroma of sweet malts, toasts, fruits and some herbs & spices. Complex flavor yet not overpowering. Toasted malts up front with a bitter hop & alcohol finish. There’s also notes of fruits, herbs, spices and a faint hint of dark chocolate. Mouthfeel is rustic but pleasant. Tangy carbonation and creamy. It’s flavor makes this one more of a slow sipping experience. It’s more abrasive and less polished then "La fin du monde" or "Trois pistole" but still a really good beer.

In a tulip glass... Sugary plum aroma, with red wine grapes. A mild spicy Belgian funk. Fruity and dark. The appearance is dark, reddish and mahogany. Head disappears quickly. Cloudy and rich color. The flavor is a combination of dark, sweet grapes and stone fruits. The Dubbel-ish Belgian funk comes in later. Really funky on the back of the tongue. A severe champagne finish. Feels dry like red wine at first, then a little champagne fizz. Flavors are a bit dark. A good, solid beer, not amazing.
