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.

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.

On tap at Hop Leaf. Poured a dark brown with an off-white head. Aroma was full of spices, caramel and smoked notes. Flavor consisted of spices, caramel and an odd smoked note.

Nice rich coppery red. Min head. Smells of spices and fruit...complex for me. Great intense flavor with a smooth flavor...good value for the bucks!

MPosey (130) - , Georgia, USA - AUG 7, 2009
A wonderful beer. Pours creamy with medium head, low lace. Aromas of spice and nuts. Attack is electric, like licking a battery, mellows to a warm caramel flavor, finish is very nice and mild. Just a touch of linger to it. A wonderful beer.

locust (10) - Brampton, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 7, 2009
What can I say, I just tried this finally after heavily enjoying the Unibroue white beer (Blanche de Chambly) and the 8% Alcohol rating had me a little skeptical of it. Pours an incredibly rich and cloudy amber/red color, a sightly yellow head, and wonderful aromas of spice. Tastes like coriander and some sweet fruit in the background, slightly spicy, all around superb. I can’t tell you how surprised I am to be enjoying this as much as I am. Will be purchasing again ASAP. Can’t wait to try Trois Pistoles and Fin du Monde next. 4/5

Narnad (1136) - Wonder Lake, Illinois, USA - AUG 6, 2009
Pours a red-brown, slightly on the dark side in color with a thick, creamy, off-white head that stays around for a great amount of time. Aroma consists of a light cinnamon, a decent amount of pilsner note, light yeast note, a mild spicy finish. Flavor has an apple, grape and caramel sweetness, light yeast bite, light orange peal spice, mild cinnamon notes, a very light dark fruit -plum/prune note and finishes with a very leafy spicy note. Density is much less than the normal Unibroue brew with almost no hint of alcohol but a very light feel. Overall the combination of light sweetness, higher spicy notes and a light palate make for a very good but different beer by Unibroue.

maloderous (2) - Rhode Island, USA - AUG 5, 2009 does not count
What’s Interesting about the Uinibroues is that the color of the label represents the flavor. Maudite tastes very "red" as Troid Pistoles tastes very "purple." It’s good for getting a buzz on, and if you want to drink beer with the devil on it. That’s gotta stand for something.

Kestral (487) - Årnes, NORWAY - AUG 3, 2009
Tap. Dark reddish brown, 5mm white head. Aroma is big on malt, yeast, coriander and other spices, slightly funky and acidic. Flavour is very malty, like a brune, quite a lot of spices here, and a herbal hop finish. Medium body, the carbonation was a bit too much on the sparkly side for me. Tasty brew.
