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.

This is a very good beer from a great brewery. I prefer La Fin, but this is still very good.

My tastebuds are still tingling. Bottle at Elephant and Castle. 8%. Clear, amber pour with a hint of cloudiness (probably due to a near overpour on my part). Aroma is yeast, malts, and spices. Taste is brown sugar, malts, grains, mild spice, and absolutely superb. Finish is smooth, and this beer is delicious.

Bottle. Pours copper with a fluffy white head that, like most Unibroue beers, lasts quite well. Aroma is strong malt with lesser spice and wood. The flavour again is malty but also contains molasses, cinnamon, orange and brown sugar. It’s not too sweet and even a little bit spicy. Overall a really good beer but not quite as distinguished as some of the other beers from this brewer.

amckee (11) - Plano, Texas, USA - AUG 15, 2009
The beer was dark reddish brown with a large head and was heavily carbonated. It was crisp but thin and had a tart aftertaste. Overall, not a bad beer, but not one of this brewer’s best.

DeeBee21 (51) - NH, New Hampshire, USA - AUG 15, 2009
Very dark copper orange pour, fizzy off white head. Definitely spices, cinnamon bit of yeasty-ness, and sweetness of dried fruit. Taste of orange peel spice, over ripe bananas, slight cinnamon notes still, and caramel sweetness. Bit dry at the finish.

ScottyP (425) - Brentwood, Tennessee, USA - AUG 14, 2009
Pours a dark reddish brown with creamy white head. Aroma of malt, yeast, spices, fruit. Similar taste, very spicy with some acidity in the finish. Warming as well. An enjoyable heavy beer. Nice complex beer.

Barrios (1243) - Nashville, Tennessee, USA - AUG 14, 2009
Pours a fizzy off-white head and a deep copper body. Smells of dough and ripe fruit. Flavor is dried fruit, cotton candy, and yeast.

Berley31 (230) - New Brunswick, CANADA - AUG 11, 2009
A: Poured with a small, off-white head that diminished very quickly to a thin film. Dark golden-brown, with some slight haze, but come clarity as well. S: Smells highly of yeast and bready-malt... just like a good Belgian ale should. T: Starts off malty, but then ends with a dry bitterness... it’s got a real punch in its finish. M: Medium-bodied and creamy, with quite a bit of carbonation. D: I regret that I am not very familiar with this class of beer, despite all the Belgian ales I have had. I enjoy the taste, but the finish turns me off slightly. More research into Belgian strong dark ales is required.
