Maudite[edit | edit source]

Maudite is a Belgian-style strong ale produced by the Unibroue brewery in Chambly, Quebec, Canada. It is one of the brewery's flagship beers and has gained international recognition for its unique flavor profile and high quality.

History[edit | edit source]

Maudite was first brewed in 1992 and quickly became a popular choice among beer enthusiasts. The name "Maudite" translates to "damned" in English, which reflects the beer's strong and bold character. It is often referred to as a "devilish" beer due to its complex flavors and higher alcohol content.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Maudite is classified as a Belgian-style strong ale, which means it is brewed using traditional Belgian brewing techniques and ingredients. It has an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 8%, making it a relatively strong beer. The beer is bottle-conditioned, meaning that it undergoes a secondary fermentation process in the bottle, resulting in natural carbonation and enhanced flavors.

The appearance of Maudite is a deep amber color with a thick, creamy head. It has a medium to full body and a smooth mouthfeel. The aroma is rich and malty, with notes of caramel, dark fruits, and spices. The flavor profile is complex, with a balance of sweet and bitter notes. The maltiness is complemented by hints of dried fruits, cloves, and a subtle spiciness. The finish is long and warming, leaving a pleasant aftertaste.

Pairing[edit | edit source]

Maudite pairs well with a variety of foods, thanks to its robust flavor profile. It goes particularly well with hearty dishes such as stews, roasted meats, and strong cheeses. The beer's complexity and depth of flavors can also be enjoyed on its own as a sipping beer.

Awards and Recognition[edit | edit source]

Maudite has received numerous awards and accolades over the years. It has consistently been recognized as one of the top Belgian-style ales in the world. Some notable awards include:

- Gold Medal at the World Beer Championships - Gold Medal at the Canadian Brewing Awards - Gold Medal at the World Beer Cup

Availability[edit | edit source]

Maudite is widely available in both Canada and the United States, as well as in select international markets. It is sold in 12 oz bottles, 750 ml bottles, and on draft. The beer can be found at specialty beer stores, liquor stores, and some restaurants and bars that focus on craft beer.
