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.

sayravai (4526) - Helsinki, FINLAND - MAY 8, 2005
(Bottled) Murky medium-brown color with a smallish head. Interesting aroma with burned sugar, roasty (slightly unfermented) malt, some port. Sweetish with some scotch ale character, but not toffeeish. Initially sweet, raw-malty, oaky flavor with a long, smooth, wineous and mildly bitter finish. Medium to full-bodied, thick palate with quite flat carbonation. Slightly raw, but quite pleasant and smooth brew. Probably gets better with aging.

jonas (4506) - Garching b. München, GERMANY - JUN 18, 2003
UPDATED: JUN 20, 2003 Phenolic banana nose. Cloudy amber, not much head. Tastenotes include peaches and bubblegum. Quite different from other Belgian strong ales, you could almost think it is a weizenbock.

Braudog (4473) - Hampton, Virginia, USA - FEB 13, 2007
From a 12 oz’er, this poured a very dark and opaque orange color (brown when away from the light), with a head of tiny little bubbles. The aroma is one of dried fruits -- raisins, dates and so forth. Similarly the flavor is fruity, but not intensely sweet or citrusy, but instead sugary and very dry, like a dry champagne with a tight carbonation. (#2698, 2/13/2007)

tiggmtl (4467) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - OCT 14, 2003
Caramel fruit and sugar sweet aroma. Hazy burnt orange colour with thick white head that recedes to a film. Sweet round full flavour with dark fruits and caramel maltiness. Alcohol makes a brief appearance but is hidden wonderfully in the huge palate of this wonderful beer. Residual and lasting sweetness. Bottle.

larsga (4435) - Oslo, NORWAY - MAR 25, 2008
Big yellowish beige lasting head. Brown hazy body with suspended yeast. Peppery yeasty spicy aroma with fruity notes. Sweetish spicy chalky fruity taste with peppery banana notes. Sharpish mouthfeel. Apple and licorice notes, as well as grains of paradise. Very good! (0.33l bottle, SuperValu, Dublin.)

muzzlehatch (4425) - Burlington, Vermont, USA - NOV 2, 2001
Another worthy product from our friends to the North; at first I was a bit apprehensive of the cloudiness in my glass, which seemed a bit much even for a bottle-conditioned strong ale; the spicy nose is not overwhelming, but very nice. Flavor is explosive, rich, sweet -- whoever called it a weizenbock I think nailed it; bit too alcoholic on the palate for me. Still, a great beer, whatever style you want to put on it.

KnutAlbert (4384) - Oslo, NORWAY - MAY 29, 2008
Bottle from Dublin. Murky red, beige head, lively carbonation. Very Belgian yeast character. Sweet fruit - peaches and sour cherries. Nuts, flowers. Crisp hoppy finish. An excellent beer that would be perfect with some ripe cheese.

riversideAK (4381) - Shoreline, Washington, USA - AUG 7, 2008
Tap. Copper pour with a big head that ended up leaving me rather quickly. The aroma a mixture of darker fruity malts and lots of yeasty spice. Much of the same in the flavor. Dark fruits like cherries, dates, plums and the like, as well as lots of spicy yeast and a little alcohol. Light lingering yeast and fruit, but it seemed rather clean really. Pleasant stuff.
