Description
Maudite (damned) was the first strong beer to be retailed in Quebec. The word "Maudite" refers here to the Legend of "Chasse-Galerie" a tribute to the early lumberjacks of Nouvelle-France. The legend tells of eight daring woodsmen who, during winter, yearned to be home for the Holidays. They conjured up the Devil and all of them pledged their soul in return for flying them in their canoe to their village. As they sailed across the moonlit sky, one of them managed to free himself from the pledge by invoking the name of God, which caused the flying canoe to come crashing down to earth.
Comments
BBC » Pretty darn good for an 8% beer. Not too strong, nicely flavourful and a little fruity. But I don't think I should have too many second helpings.
