Unibroue Maudite

Brewed by Unibroue (Sapporo)
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Chambly, Canada

Aroma was light malty and quite yeasty. Small head which disappeared quickly and almost not lace.. Flavor somewhat sweet with a moderate bitter finish. Considering it’s reputation, I was disappointed. Uni’s other brews are better.

I love this beer. Cloudy, dark amber. Has elements of honey to it. A great beer to just sit and relax with.

This one was far too yeasty for my tastes, but still a very pleasant brew. It had a hotdog taste to it that was very subdued, but coming from a finer BSA it stuck out like a sore thumb initially. I didn’t notice it too much after drinking for a few sips. The nose smells like hotdogs throughout though, like Blue Moon does, and that draws down significantly on this one in my book. Overall, just an average beer for me.

Leads Belgian but finishes with what I might characterize as an astringent quality. I found carbonation too fine and intense. Overall mouthfeel subtracted from what clearly are sophisticated flavors. I appreciate Maudite, but wouldn’t put it on any shortlist.

Poured a dark caramel color with a bit of a haze and little and quick dissipating head. Aroma and Taste are both fruity. Plums and raisins perhaps. Taste is also yeasty. Mouthfeel is good, maybe a tad thinner than expected. I was somewhat disappointed in this one, expected more.

12 oz. bottle... Poured hazy dark caramel color with whitesh cream head. Spicy citrus aroma. The flavor is mildly sweet with a dry ripe banana aftertaste. Overall a damn fine brew, well crafted and warms the belly nicely.

I love this stuff. It’s like a get drunk beer when you’re slightly less of a dirtbag than ghetto dudes who drink OE. Even though I love OE. Anyway... Yeah there’s a lot of choice between the unibroue and they all tend to remain within the same realm of price, but I enjoy Maudite the most out of all of them. It’s DELICIOUS and INTERESTING without being ABRASIVE which some "good" beer tends to be on principle. You know what I mean? Like a good bear has to have something that’s a bit "TOO" much to be considered good? Horsefeathers! I’ve only tried pouring this out of the bottle once, and it looked like when you try to make your own iced tea out of tea you brew then refrigerate too quickly. It’s all cloudy and translucent, and call me crazy but it seemed to taste better out of the bottle anyway. Keep it in the bottle guys, it works! But I digress. I love this beer. It’s spicy and fruity and delicious. Better still, it’s GREAT beer at a GREAT price. Buy 3! Get drunk! Be classy!
