Unibroue Maudite is an excellent example of Belgian Amber Ale. The predominate flavors are apples, a tiche of pear, yeast, and a dry spicy finish. The finish picks up a clove flavor as the beer warms. It is good for sipping and goes great with food. The fruitiness makes the beer an excellent complement to fruit and cheese and it is robust enough to pair with grilled meat.BeerAdvocate classifies Maudite as Belgian Strong Dark Ale. It is not as dark or heavy as many Dark Ale. Strong means that the beer has a high alcohol content. Maudite clocks in at 8% by volume.
Maudite means the damned one. Many Belgian beers, especially Strong Pale Ale, have names that relate to the Devil.
Unibroue is located in Chambly, Quebec. The brewery is known for its lineup of fine Belgian style ales.
These notes are based on a tasting on 14 November 2008 and a few others earlier.
