4.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
Deep dark brown in color and very cloudy. Nice head with tiny bubbles due to the secondary fermentation. Has a yeasty, raspberry aroma. Thick mouth feels as expected from appearance. Subtle bite and excellent tart taste with a moderate acidic finish.

Bottle 355ml. Heavenly. Aromas of bread, dough, caramel, and alcohol. Taste starts sweet, and has a sour touch with lingering bitterness. Palate is sticky and full bodied, with a long finish. Amber, with a thin frothy head.

This beer seems to combine a few of my favorite things: the wheatyness of a hefeweizen and the body and color of an ale. The head pours out nice and creamy, with an explosion of tropical fruits and nut smells. The body is medium-bubbly, reddish, and delightfully refreshing. Don’t forget about swirling that dose of vitamin B out of the bottom!

Tasted from large bottle into tulip glass. Poured a beautiful, hazy deep copper color with fluffy off-white head, somewhat persistent, some lace. Aromas of sweet bread, apricot, some distant earthy hops, pepper, clove, and alcohol. Rich malt sweetness with complimentary hops bitterness, complex flavors: whole-wheat bread, toast, biscuits, roasted nuts, honey, caramelized brown sugar, a little molasses and stone fruit. Light-medium body with mellow mouthfeel. Lasting, unique bittersweet aftertaste which finishes dry. Pleasant warmth, but you’d never know this was 8% alcohol by volume. Awesome bottle fermentation effervescence. Refreshing, drinkable and delicious. This is about as perfect a beer I’ve ever had.

Pours opaque dark brown with some tan fizz for a head. Smells incredibly malted with some actual sweetness. Tastes smooth and sweet but mellow, very pleasant. Full-bodied with a smooth texture and more than average mouth-carbonation, Maudite finishes with some lingering sweetness.

UPDATED: MAR 13, 2008 Absolutely outstanding. Dark amber color, fruity / raisin notes, a bit heavy.

Unibroue consistently brews a high-quality product. And by high, I mean Himalayan. Maudite for me is no exception, possibly even my current favourite of their year-round offerings.
Appearance: A cloudy copper-red.
Aroma: A bouquet of sugar, cloves, and dark cherries.
Taste: Wheat, perhaps something akin to a faint peanut brittle...I can’t resist simply calling it, "ambrosia."
Palate: spritzy and quenching. As the Unibroue people describe it themselves, a cognac-like finish.
Overall: What a brew! This one is great all by itself. Also try it with hearty foods that otherwise might get the chianti or merlot treatments: pasta, tomato-based dishes, red meat (beef stew!), or artisanal pizza. A clear winner all-around.
Serving type: bottle

I love this beer. Cloudy, dark amber. Has elements of honey to it. A great beer to just sit and relax with.
