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.

TBone (9096) - Pori, FINLAND - FEB 25, 2006
Bottled
Hazy nut brown color, firm small beige head. Aroma of yeast, nuts, oak and chocolate. Carbonated, hides ABV extremeley well. Sweet raisins flavor, fruity, slightly crisp and roasted. Reminds me about Westvleteren Red Cap.

On pour, there was a nice head that quickly dissolved, leaving a relatively clear orange-brown body. The aroma and flavor are both sweet and spicy. While that can be a good thing, I find that I don’t much care for this particular spiciness. Champagne mouthfeel contrasts unusually with the alcohol undertones. Surprisingly mild aftertaste.

yngwie (8717) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - AUG 11, 2006
Bottled. Slightly hazy, sedimented, golden beer with a beige head. Caramel, roast, candisugar, berries, spices and hints of alcohol in the aroma. Tea, candisugar, spices, hops, yeast and caramel in the flavor. Full-bodied and with a sweet mouthfeel. Long finish with alcohol, spices and bitterness. Very much alcohol-taste and finish for a 8% ABV beer, but not unpleasant. (060810)

faroeviking (8598) - Kongens Lyngby, FÖROYAR, FAROE ISLANDS - APR 18, 2007
Had the pleasure of drinking quite a few of these in Quebéc. 12 ounce bottle. Dark amber colour with a nice thick head. Aroma is fruity and sweet with some prune and indeed a good touch of alcohol. Spicy flavor, strong malty,fruity and sweet. Long aftertaste. Leaves a nice warming feeling in the belly....wanting you to get you own canoe and just raft the skies looking for more of this wonderful brew not caring if you too become maudite.............. Darn good brew!

thewolf (8245) - Kolding, DENMARK - AUG 10, 2006
Hazy nut-brown colour with thin creamy off-white head. Aroma of bitter berries, some orange and a lot of spice. Quite spritzy mouthfeel. Taste is initially sweet then gains momentum with spicyness, some apples and a slightly bitter finish. Quite vinious as well.

Copper with a medium, creamy head. A strong grapefruit/orange aroma with spices. Sweet, complex flavour with a lot of caramel and other burned notes, and a spicy, pepper and licorice finish.
