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.

Not too bad. This one is a strong one. Has a nice dark brown, deep hazy color. Smell of strong malts with hints of smoke, roasty caramel, yeast. Nice thick head. Tastes as it smells, full of malts and yeast. After the first couple of sips I wasnt sure if I liked it. But then it started to warm up to me. Its pretty darn good stuff. Has a pleasant aftertaste. Another quality drink from Unibroue.

TheGrandMaster (2308) - Auckland, NEW ZEALAND - DEC 24, 2008
Bottle (in NZ). A gusher, but finally poured with a hazy copper hue and a large foamy head. Plenty of alcohol on the nose, along with toffee and hints of tropical fruits. Fruity and yeasty, with warming malt on the palate, and an underlying spicyness.

Fantastic beer. One of the best Belgian Strong Ales I have had. Nice head, good color, very flavorful and great aftertaste. I cannott think of any negatives about this beer.

mansquito (1607) - washington, Washington DC, USA - DEC 22, 2008
Big foamy looking head that sticks around for quite a while. Body is a cloudy (muddy) brown color. Aroma of cloves and other spices along with a chock full of fruit smells, mostly banana. Bitterswwet front that melts into sweetness and then brings out a dry and bitter aftertaste. Banana taste is in there, along with a pleasant amount of hops. Pretty nice beer overall, worth trying by all people.

The first time I had this beer was 5 years ago. The bottle was a birthday gift from my ex.father.in.law. He siad he thought it was a cool label. I do not think he knew what the meaningof the name was. Pours a slightly hazy reddish brown. White foamy head. Aroma of belgian yeast, figs, dates, rich malt. Very complex scent. Flavor is a strong bodied malt. Lots of dark dried fruits. More complex flavors than in the aroma. Wow. Overall this bottle reminds me of a heavy doppelbock made with a belgian yeast. Happiness in a warm glass. I could have a tap of this in the house and never leave again.

ROGUE (1315) - Newark, Delaware, USA - DEC 16, 2008
750ml bottle. Pours a mahogany color with a thick head. Aroma of yeast, banana, and cherry. Taste is extremely sweet with fruity and floral tones as in the smell. It also has a hoppy bitterness to balance things. Medium bodied with heavy carbonation. An easy drinking strong ale.

Extraordinarily average. What a disappointment, especially for a unibroue fan and an someone with an appreciation for the taste of yeast in beer. Dank, murky, muddled smell, like pond water after a storm. Look is light brown, translucent dirt floored dirty bar toilet water with bright white bubbles for a head. Flavor taste like a belgian but as if they were to frugal to devote the proper amount of ingredients to the pot, not enough of anything to make it taste right. Palate is very smooth, almost satiny across the tongue. Very average beer for an above average producer. Sorry. 2008 22 oz bomber.
