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.

Cavie (3249) - Fort Worth, Texas, USA - MAY 22, 2009
UPDATED: AUG 26, 2009 Dark pour. Belgian aroma with a weightier feel. Dry mouthfeel, little aftertaste. Flavor up front is bitter. No sweetness which I expected. Re-rate 8/26/09. Pours heavy red with a murky appearance. Smell has a nice round of spice with a quick punch of heavy flavors. Mouthfeel boasts an immediate tingle which is cheerfully provided by the ABV. Taste is better than I remembered however I was but a tot when I tried it the first time. Slight improvement.

Brown pour with a tan head. Malty caramel aroma. Flavor of dark fruits, spice and malts. Potent caramel and alcohol finish.

Bomber. Light tan head over a maroon base. Very yeasty, malty and fruit in aroma and flavor. Some bitterness in the end. Nice almost refreshing Belgian strong.

A classic, indeed. I remember that I didn’t like this beer in the early 90’s; it was too strong, spicy and strange for my commercial beer tastebuds. It’s been now maybe two years that I really appreciate strong beers but I never re-tasted the Maudite until recently. And God was I surprised!. I think my uncle had kept it for several months in its refrigerator; I know it’s not the beer way of cellaring but it was deliciously thick and caramel sweet, with layers of complexity, with spices, fruits and moderate bitterness. I read it has a five years aging potential. Great, but the important think not to forget to enjoy those strong Unibroue beers: LET IT WARM!

Davros (919) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - MAY 11, 2009
UPDATED: MAY 12, 2009 Copper pour, big off-white head shows moderate persistence. Aroma is very complex if you search for it, with cherries, vanilla, chocolate, spicy cloves, dark malts, wheat, yeast, light alcohol, and candi sugar sweetness. Very appetising. Flavour doesn’t impress quite as much, with sweet toasty malts, belgian yeast, spicy phenols and some very slight alcohol. Very high carbonation adds to a nice creamy mouthfeel. Some pleasant alcoholic heat on the palate.

Ive had this many times over the years but never taken the time to rate it so here it goes. rich mahogany color, off-white head. Spicy yeasty, fruity esters, banana in the aroma. Nice dark fruit flavor swirl around in this one. raisins, dates, overripe banana. pinch of yeast. An old classic
