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.

whatalesya (20) - , North Carolina, USA - JAN 11, 2009
Poured a very thick (2” plus) off white head. Translucent dark amber brown (mahogany). Floral/fruit aromatics in the nose. Medium bodied. A strong spice/acidic grapefruit and ginger taste (and clove??) with a noticeable hop bitterness that balances the flavors. Almost like a fine wine or cognac in taste. Alcohol is only slightly noticed. Somewhat dry, sticky finish with a lingering, slight sweetness. Not a favorite but a good change of pace.

grandgenie (259) - gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - JAN 11, 2009
Dégusté dans le verre de la maudite, bière d’édition 2008 en forma 371 ml. Apparence brun ambré foncé avec une fine couche de mousse démarquant bien chaque levé du coude. Odeur de caramel, muscade, sucre brun un peu de mélasse et de fûmé de bois de santal. Une pointe de canelle, d’orange et estragon. Un goût complexe de sucré, de salé, de fruité et d’amertume. Un liquide avec un potentiel de vieillissement exceptionnel axé sur le floral. Il sera très interressant dans déguster les subtilités de divers millésimes.

bw1982 (112) - , Arizona, USA - JAN 5, 2009
12 ounce bottle. Pours a very dark amber color, almost a brown with a slightly off white head. The aroma is primarily a nice sweet malt. The palate is nice, slightly dry but it feels like it fills the mouth. The flavors are strong, there are some hints of molasses and fruit but with a strong malty background. The alcohol is not overly strong, but it does provide some warmth. All in all, this was a very excellent beer.

Trappist glass. Sweet yeasty aroma, strong malt character. Pours a red mahogany, some fluffy white head. Malty flavor, toasty with lots of red fruit sweetness. Dry on the tongue, with a foamy mouth feel. Nice strong ale.

BeerBunker (687) - Burbank, Illinois, USA - JAN 2, 2009
Pours a murky copper with a tan head. Very heavy carbonation. Aroma is of malt, yeast, alcohol, dark fruit, and sugars. Taste is of malt, dark fruit, sugars, and caramel. The fruit is the most evident flavor. Nice alcohol warming feel. Mouthfeel is very creamy and malty. Not a bad beer by any means.
