Unibroue Maudite: 27

Taste: 10 Finish: 10 Visual: 4 Aroma: 3
Total: 27

Maudite (Damned) is a bottle conditioned red ale. It claims to continue to age up to 5 years in the bottle similar to a wine.

Given its bottle conditioning, it is a very murky red which a large head. The aroma is mild with just a hint of malt and hops.

First sip, mmm, nice. Very nice. There is a nice sweetness upfront. It is smooth up the middle. Just a bit of bite in the back. The finish is oh so smooth. It leaves a trail of honey on the tongue. The aftertaste has a bit of hops but more of spices.

I would say this is a very pleasant tasting, sweet, spiced, and slightly tangy brew. This is a fine dinner type of beer. Subtle enough not to interfere with the food, but complex enough to enjoy on its own. Unibroue does it again.
