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.

750ml Bottle: Cloudy brown-amber under a medium off-white soapy head. Yeasty, ripe- fruity, earthy aroma with faint notes of chocolate and dust. Flavours of raisins, dried figs, sweet malts, candy sugar and spice. Dry alcoholic finish. Stylistically elusive but exquisitely complex and robust.

Had on draft at the Bailey’s Chocolate Bar in STL. It had an almost reddish hue and off-white head. It shared many of the expected Belgian spice and dried fruit aromas, but maybe to a lesser degree. I expected a fuller mouthfeel as this seemed to fall a little flat on the tounge, no robust spice, no strong hop flavor. I guess at the same time the temperedness makes this very approachable.

from bottle, one of my favorite everyday beers... fair amount of carbonation that dissipates quickly without much lacing, poors deep mahogany, taste like it smells but with a spicy kick...fruitiness masks alcohol well but still has an alcoholic finish

Bottle. Pours an amber colour with an off-white head. The aroma really reminded me of sparkling white wine. A bit tart with hints of yeast and some fruity malts. The flavour is also reminiscent of sparkling white wine. Some tartness and some sweetness - you can feel the yeast together with some spices (coriander?). You don’t feel the alcohol at all. Not much bitterness to talk about. I liked this one!

Great smelling beer, has the lingering taste of alcohol but it is masked nicely. Great blend of spices that move through out the entire mouth. Would buy again

Pours a dark amber color with a medium off white head. Smells very sweet, like you’d expect from a Unibroue beer. Alot of candy sugar, Unibroue yeast, and sweet malts. The flavor is much the same. Has the typical Unibroue flavor. Pretty sweet on the palate, full bodied, very malty. Alot of dark fruit and sweet malts. The alcohol is there, but masked proficiently. Another good offering from these guys.

Dark mahogany pour and creamy off white head. Tastes of creamy summer fruits. Good, but too fruity/sweet for me.

Bottle: Dark brown pour with a semi white head that disappeared to a thin film. Citrus scent with a heavy dosing of alcohol. Seems a bit watered down for my taste. Not entirely sure why this has such a high rating.
