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.

Rich amber in color with thick frothy head, smells of alcohol, citrus, and a little spice. Very lively taste with malt, slight spice and bitterness on the finish. Amazing mouthfeel, very creamy. Excellent beer.

This is indeed a very distinctive beer. Rich color and body with a slight woody spice flavor. Really good and drinkable. Thanks, Unibroue!!

12oz. I thought I had let the yeast settle but mine poured a fairly hazy brown with a surprisingly white head for the body color. Aroma is mostly alcohol. Fairly rich body with some spice. Crazy mouthfeel is the highlight here with good, fine bubbles. In the end, this was a relative disappointment from Unibroue which I hold to a pretty high standard.

750mL bottle shared with Illini08 and nimrod. Poured a hazy brown color that reminded me of apple cider. It had a 1 finger width head that lasted for a little while. The smell was very complex with hints of fruit and citrus. Tasted very malty and spicey with fruit and citrus hints. The finish was a little bit bitter but did not take away from the experience. Definitely an interesting brew... it was tasty but I would not drink this often.

750mL bottle, shared by General66; thanks! Poured a very hazy brown color. Very estery aroma: banana and some slight citrus notes as well as some clove and coriander. Similar to what a good hefe-weizen should be. Malty, yeasty flavor with some of the banana and spice coming through as well. A very well-made beer, but not one that I want to drink on a regular basis.

Bottle, pours a nice amber/red color, plenty of yeast. Drinkable no doubt, alcoholic no doubt, a nice and tasty brew I would have preferred a bit more malts but still tasty.

Shared a 750ml bottle with General66 and Illini08. Thanks Bobby :). Poured a cloudy dark amber with a large head. Tons of banana aroma and flavor, with some citrus flavors as well. The somewhat bitter aftertaste (not comparable to IPA’s) was dry with the yeast lingering in my mouth. Pretty good beer, but I am still not used to the style.

This was really good. A little bit lighter flavor than Fin Du Monde, but tasty nonetheless.
