Of course we got none of this up here in the Great White North. I'm fortunate though in that my in-laws have a cabin in the Gatineaus that we visit a few times a year. I'm headed up there at Christmas time and will do my semi-annual stocking up on DDC and Les Trois Mousquetaires brews.
Corne Du Diable.. what a beer!

Dieu du Ciel Feature
Péché Mortel, bottled 07-09. This beer is the essence of Montréal and the Plateau/Mile End-area DDC brew pub. I'm flashing back with each small sip.
With two years of lurking in the cellar the 2009 Péché is showing no signs of fading... all coffee-chocolate liqueur, plus the big demerera fatness, and the big hops and roast and coffee bitterness now rounded out into a smooth, well-textured harmony.
I got into a lot of 'special' Stouts in the Summer of 2009 but this one still stands out. You'd be mental not to age some bottles and try it.
