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.

Small glass out of bottle with IA for TRTs bday. Only just starting to see these in larger Ƒst choice) bottle shops here. Deep red brown, persistant foam head. Yeast and cloves on the nose, cinamon and nutmeg too.

Pours a deep chestnut with a light tan, fizzy head. Aroma holds lots of brown sugar, molasses, clove, cinnamon, a bit of roasted malt, and also some wheat malt. Not aggressive, but very nice and welcoming on the nose. Flavor is delicious, with that classic Unibroue yeast strain, heavy spice, raisin, dark but sweet malt. The finish is also lovely, with some nice acidity to it that intensifies the spice character that is the predominant trait of this beer on all fronts. I’ve had this plenty before, but it’s nice to finally rate it- such a solid brew.

This is a very good beer from a great brewery. I prefer La Fin, but this is still very good.

My tastebuds are still tingling. Bottle at Elephant and Castle. 8%. Clear, amber pour with a hint of cloudiness (probably due to a near overpour on my part). Aroma is yeast, malts, and spices. Taste is brown sugar, malts, grains, mild spice, and absolutely superb. Finish is smooth, and this beer is delicious.

Bottle. Pours copper with a fluffy white head that, like most Unibroue beers, lasts quite well. Aroma is strong malt with lesser spice and wood. The flavour again is malty but also contains molasses, cinnamon, orange and brown sugar. It’s not too sweet and even a little bit spicy. Overall a really good beer but not quite as distinguished as some of the other beers from this brewer.

The beer was dark reddish brown with a large head and was heavily carbonated. It was crisp but thin and had a tart aftertaste. Overall, not a bad beer, but not one of this brewer’s best.

Very dark copper orange pour, fizzy off white head. Definitely spices, cinnamon bit of yeasty-ness, and sweetness of dried fruit. Taste of orange peel spice, over ripe bananas, slight cinnamon notes still, and caramel sweetness. Bit dry at the finish.

Pours a dark reddish brown with creamy white head. Aroma of malt, yeast, spices, fruit. Similar taste, very spicy with some acidity in the finish. Warming as well. An enjoyable heavy beer. Nice complex beer.
