. Favourite Beer of the Week

Don De Dieu, meaning "Gift of God" is the last bottle of the fantastically strong 'Unibroue' beers given to me for my birthday by the fantastically strong Canadian, Eric Lessard. This one is named after a boat which arrived in Quebec (a dirty Canadian shantytown famous mostly for Eric Lessard) on my birthday (June 3rd) in 1608. It has been said that such beers (of 9% abv) should be shared amongst friends. Sadly, the Lessards have now returned to Canadia, so I have been forced once again to drink the whole 1pt 9.4fl.oz myself, while my wife labours tirelessly in the kitchen to prepare some beany tomato thing that will no doubt be frickin fantastic.

This beer is creamy and sweet and hoppy and malty and yeasty and seriously I know bugger all about beer but this one is really nice.
