Postmortem Brew Review
Hazy amber with reddish hues.
Fruity esters and spices. Corriander and faint hops in the background.
Two fingered caramel head with medium carbonation.
Strings and dots of lacing coat the entire glass.
Very slight alcohol taste as it warms, but not distracting.
Full flavor. All aromas and tastes intensify as it warms.
Grim Reaper's Eulogy
Muahahaha! I could not have put it better...Maudite means, "The Damned One". The logo portrays men rowing a wooden canoe, paddling across a blood red sky with the full moon lighting their way. A horned headed and winged gargoyle has arms folded and is sending a sly grin your way. His look seems to express knowledge of a great peril awaiting these flying boatmen. Does this seem typically Canuckle-headed to you, too?
Anyway, about the ale...it's as crazy as the artwork! There is a spiciness to the boquet on this ale and it is very full of flavor. It definitely blooms in aroma and flavor the longer you let it sit and warm slightly from the tap, in your glass. As with strong ales and high ABV beers, let it sit a bit and explore the fullness of its character.
The website mentions it can be cellared for up to 5 years. You won't be able to wait that long...else you go mad and paddle your canoe in the sky, too! Ha-haha-ha! Try some and see how you too will become one of the damned!
