French Canadian frolics

Quebec is one of Canada's most unique provinces. In fact the french-speaking region is probably the most culturally unique region of North America, in food , language and now, beer.  Recently I saw a friend toting a beautiful 750 ml bottle of beer that turned out to be a bottle of Les Trois Mousquetieres Grand Cuvee Doppelbock.

This thing looks like it belongs in a cellar alongside your Chateau Petrus so I had to get myself a bottle to see if it drinks anywhere like it looks...
When I pours you get a rich dark brew with a rich slightly sweet aroma and a head that isn't too thick.  Drinking, this beer slides over your tongue with smooth flavours of chocolate and currents, and even hints of coffee. These flavours hang around in your mouth too. I  liked the way this drinks and it looks good in my cellar so I definitely need to drink this one again. If you can find it, geddit mayne :)
