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.

This beer seems to be incredibly inconsistant, sometimes I get a great bottle sometimes not. It pours a rich white head with limited lace. Smells fantastic and the taste doesn't disappoint. The flavours are held back but balance nicely. Could be a lot more assertive but is a nice belgian style ale.

Pour is a nubilous amber to copper color, the head behemothic in size and creamy in its consistency, the lace thick glutinous sheets that seal themselves to the glass. Aroma of ripe plums, sweet with hints of yeast and malt, quite pleasant to senses. Start is sweet, the top middling in mouth feel, the finish tart, the carbonation biting and the hops masterful in their spicy presence, dry somewhat alcohol bitter aftertaste lingers on. It is hard for me to say if I like La Fin Du Monde or Maudite better, guess it’s a tie and I will have to sample a few dozen more times to break that tie? Oh what about Trois Pistoles? A three way tie what a shame.

although high in alcohol, this brew was seemingly easy to drink...very, very smooth!

I had this at the Great Arizona Beer Festival in Phoenix. Really good, nice fruity flavor and aroma.

Found this in the cooler of a french camping site! My first Unibroue (can't find it in little DK) Big lasting head. Malty and very spicy.

Poured from bottle. Odd looking - color of pond water, tannish head persists. I smell malt, apple, spice, hint of alcohol. The flavor is, ahhhh, definitely Belgian. Cake, grapes, nut, oak, apple, banana, alcohol. Warm feel and smooth palate - I’m savoring each sip. Alcohol more present as it warms. Needless to say, it finished wonderfully. A fine beer.

Another world class contribution from Unibroue. Reddish amber color, thick beige head of foam, tornado of carbonation. Apple-plum in the nose, pepper spice, coconut and faint mustiness. Slightly spritzy palate, grips at first then just slides its way through with ease. A sweet red apple fruitiness is the first note in the flavor blanaced by a mild spice mid-palate. Suggestions of pineapple juice and candy sugar arrive as the beer warms.

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.
