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.

Ughsmash (5631) - Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA - JAN 8, 2006
750 ml bottle, 2004. Poured a clear copper with a light off-white head. Heavy fruity malts in the aroma with mild funky yeast, alcohol, and vinous notes. Heavier on the vinous in the flavor, with some added caramel and floral hoppage. Caramel and fruity maltage pick up steam as this warms. Too much carbonation drives the flavor across the palate too quickly. Pears, grapes, other assorted malts provide a very nice finish. This could have been great, but the high carbonation didn’t do it justice.

Quack-Duck (5601) - Down South, GERMANY - DEC 29, 2008
bottle, Auchan Illkirch-Graffenstaden, 2007. Hazy amber colour, large white head. Malty nose. Full-bodied, malty and very fruity with a touch of caramel. Pleasantly hoppy in the lingering finish. Delicious.

BeerandBlues2 (5594) - Baltimore, Maryland, USA - OCT 27, 2005
Bottle. Pours copper with a huge, inviting off-white head that just begs to be eaten with a spoon. Excellent creamy, rocky lacing on a head that refuses to diminish. Earthy yeast (dough) cellared oak and malt (grain) aroma, slightly fruity nose. Moderately acidic caramel malt with sweet yeast flavor, some sour hoppiness and oak notes. Warm medium to full body with a fizzy and lively carbonated palate.

Ratman197 (5536) - Arvada, Colorado, USA - MAR 14, 2006
Bottle poured a cloudy dark amber with a large, lasting amber head. Aromas of brown sugar, spices, yeast and some vegtal notes. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of spices, brown sugar, yeast, honey and pepper with a crisp, lingering sweet finish.

Rciesla (5500) - Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA - DEC 29, 2009
Bottle, and a demonic looking one at that. Pours a hazy amber body with an off white head. Typical yeast character, spices, and over ripe fruit. Etoh is a bit more subdued here. Some lighter cinnamon notes or cloves give this a nice spiced finish. Another good one.

Fin (5489) - Merton, Oxfordshire, England, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - NOV 24, 2007
Bottle from The Grog Shop, Jericho, Oxford, 23-11-07 This spewed forth with a krakatoa like eruption losing me half the bottle in the process something I wasn’t best pleased about and which probably already got me off on the wrong foot with what appears to be a highly regarded beer. What I managed to get into my glass was of a muddy, murky brown appearance with quite an alcohol laden nose although this was backed up with spices and yeast. Tasted initially quite dissapointing but to give it, it’s due it got better over time and the spiciness was very apparent as was the alcohol again along with some banana lurking around and a touch of vanilla on the finish. I didn’t mind this beer but it seems a bit rough around the edges for me and not a great example of the style.

Finally, something from Unibroue that didn’t dissapoint me, smells great, not as sickeningly sweet as others from Unibroue.
