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.

rosenbergh (3145) - Helsinki, FINLAND - NOV 13, 2011
330 ml bottle. From Illkirch, France.
Dark reddish brown colour with small to average size creamy light tan head. Malt, mild bitterness, Belgian style yeast and alcohol in aroma. Flavour is malt, Belgian yeast, mild caramel sweetness and alcohol. Smooth but thinnish. Typical American Belgian style Ale.

rauchbier (3135) - Isle Of Beer, Lincolnshire, ENGLAND - MAY 1, 2002
Dark sludgy brown like a westmalle dubbel, but the head was short lived. Aroma initially suggests a trappist dubbell (westmalle, again) but develops into more of a rodenbach type woody spicyness, although not sour. Bread dough in the mouth with a fruity (fig?) spicy cakelike taste. Aftertaste is delicate but leaves behind the first hint of its taste. As I work my way through the Unibroue beer range, saving the strongest for last (I have a trois pistoles and a La Fin Du Monde left) I get more and more impressed.

Aubrey (3125) - Bellingham, Washington, USA - MAY 31, 2002
UPDATED: OCT 14, 2011 Yeasty nose. Effervescent and fluffy on the tongue. Has a subtle cake-like sweetness. Doughy and slightly fruity (apples and grapes), too. Dry, peppery finish. Pleasant beer.

kappldav123 (3124) - Markkleeberg, GERMANY - SEP 1, 2011
Bottle looks really good. Beer in the glass copper coloured, nice head. Starts strong-malty, a bit alcoholic, fine spicy with hints of caramel. Warming-fiery finish, but well balanced, still spicy-strong. I really liked it.

adnielsen (3108) - Denver, Colorado, USA - DEC 10, 2010
UPDATED: DEC 13, 2010 Tasted from a 750 mL bottle purchased in Fort Collins, Colorado. Red/orange/burgundy appearance with a white head. Sweet Belgian aroma. Delicious dark Belgian flavor like so many Unibroue beers. A bit alcoholic flavor and finish that has a slightly brown sugar flavor. Good beer.

FlacoAlto (3086) - Tucson, Arizona, USA - MAY 16, 2004
This beer has an orange-amber-copper hue to it. It is lightly hazy as well, and the head is a pale tan color. A fruity (a combination of apple, pear, and plum), crisp aroma wafts from my glass. It is well carbonated and has a bit of sweetness up front. This beer is quite smooth, there is not much in the way of bitterness or astringency. The taste is fruity as well with notes of apple and pear. This has a nice light refreshing palate to it. This beer has simple flavors, despite this I really like this. There is a hint of astringency in the finish, combined with the prickly carbonation, that balances the sweetness/ fruitiness of this beer.

Aurelius (3077) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - DEC 1, 2001
Yeast, yeast, yeast. Aroma is reminiscent of kid’s vitamins (citric acid?) Flavor reminds me of kumquats stolen in my youth. Zesty carbonation. I’m guessing that good Belgian ale tastes like this, but I have yet to find one.
