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.

UPDATED: NOV 16, 2006 12oz bottle, best before 10/25/08. Pours a hazy dark gold with a large off-white head. Aroma of Belgian yeast, candy sugar, bananas, cherries and sweet malts. There is also a light floral quality. Taste follows the aroma with the addition of some raisins and a slight vinous quality. Medium bodied, alcohol well hidden. Dry finish. Pretty fizzy, as my other Unibroue brews have been, but not overly so. Very good.

Bottle. Pours reddish amber with soapy off-white head. The aroma is grassy hops, lemon zest, crackers. The flavor has lots of noble hops and lemon, along with some honey, wildflowers, and just a bit of caramel. The finish is dry with some alcohol.

Drew (2411) - Kent, Ohio, USA - DEC 13, 2002
Poured golden brown with a medium, bubbly head. Started with a sharper fizziness that mellowed later. Fruits tasted were grape and cherry in the malts and some citrus/orange peel and spiceyness/corriander. A nice hop contributed dryness and balance. This is devillishly good.

Allen (2394) - SWITZERLAND - MAY 23, 2007
Bottled 330ml. Hazy brownish amber beer. Very storng spicy, yeasty and fruity (berries) aromas. It has some elements of figs and dust. Sweet. The taste is very rich, malty, fruity, lots of cloves, nice spiciness. A touch of cinnamon. Strong alcohol presence in the finish. A very enjoyable beer.

UPDATED: NOV 15, 2009 Taster at the Balmoral Brewhaha. Well, I’ve got a bottle cellared at home, but let’s take this for a little "taste drive," okay? I draw a bit of cherry from the nose of my teeny black taster cup. Hard to see the beer’s color, but there is a nice fizzy head on it. This has some really nice fruity esters to it. And it’s got a sweet malt base with, of course, few hops to speak of. Nice drinking all around; I’ll look forward to to opening some more.

Nice Belgian. Creamy white 3 finger head that is still there today. The aroma was yeast and alcohol. Taste was strong...full of malt, yeast and fruitiness. Finish was dry, crisp and clean. I know this should not be drank too cold, but let me tell you. It is refreshing. I let it warm as I drank it and it got more pronounced in flavor. Beautiful!

Candied dates on the nose. Dingy brown the wisps of solids collecting like smoke in the glass, medium head. Date flavor, but not too sweet. Bready finish. Nicely balanced, and not overbearing. Alcohol well blended.
