Pint Night, October 11 2006 Unibroue MauditeDescription from www.unibroue.com:
Since 1992 La Maudite
Type Strong Red Ale, refermented in the bottle
Alcohol 8 % alc./vol.
Color Mahogany
Taste Subtle coriande, light spices and a hint of hops
Aroma Spicy
Shelf Life 5 years or more
Serving Suggestions Pasta, red meat, stews and spicy dishes
In November 1992 Maudite (the damned one), was the first strong beer to be distributed in Quebec grocery stores. It contains 8 % alcohol and is also the first beer brewed in America that improves with age. When served young, it is very smooth, but when served after several years of storage, its flavour is reminiscent of port. 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.

Very faint fruity aroma, thick rusty-brown color. On tap, Unibroue Maudite had almost no head, and was flat, which made it a great deal more drinkable than from bottle.
6/10
As Steve said, this one was a little bit more drinkable than from the bottle. This one is a Sipper.
This one was weird for me... It sort of tasted like someone brewed this using Red Hots and Listerine instead of hops and malt... Not a fan.
2/10
