Rescousse is an Altbier that celebrates life in all its diversity. The forward malt invokes dark toasted bread, accompanied by a hoppy finish that dances on the tongue with nutty exuberance.

Dieu Du Ciel! donates 11 cents per bottle sold to the Fondation de la faune du Québec to come to the aid of endangered species such as the wolverine, copper redhorse, and boreal chorus frog… Liberty, Equality, Biodiversity!

Poured a amber-brown color w/ two-finger head that died slow and left lace down the glass on top of a somewhat hoppy, somewhat sweet and bready malt aroma. A smooth, somewhat creamy body that has a touch of spicy hops balanced w/ some minor sweet caramel and breadlike malts. A little dry and crisp in the backbite for a nice finish (also some high carbonation notes). An enjoyable and easy to drink beer.

Appearance - Pours a clear redish brown 1.5 fingers head. head dies down quickly leaving a film overtop being replenished by some great carbonation.

Aroma - Very sweet, Caramel, Candy, malts, Some light hop in the backround. The reason for the low rating is because the smell doesnt stand out. its just not very strong.

Taste - Caramel, Grainy malt, Very light pine hops in the background followed by a peppery finish.

Feel - Medium bodied and sticky, prickly carbonation.

Overall - This is a good beer not the best ive ever tasted and definitely not the best from DDC but its a decent beer and I'd enjoy it again.

Brought back from Montreal and shared with rudzud.

Light fizzy head disappears quickly, very little lacing, clear auburn brown color.

Nose brings sweet candy, toffee candy and reddish candy, malt, little nutty note and smoke, light grassy hop and little fruity note, earthy too.

Taste brings more sweet malt, candy, reddish candy, toffee and nutty notes, light smoky like note. Some grassy earthy spicy hops, weird earthy forest floor like with mild spicy note, toasty and doughy too. Finish is fair bitter, light lingering sweet malts and toffee nutty flavours, lingering earthy hops.

Mouth is med bod, decent carb, little sticky feel.

Overall meh.

Thanks to JLindros for sharing. Picked this up in Montreal.

A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a nice crystal clear amber hue with a thin wispy head that fades to a thin halo.

S - Aromas of smoke and caramel malts, light toasty malts. Not much hops.

T - Taste is similar to the nose, fair amount of roast and old caramel malts and hops. Almost stale cardboard.

M - Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, medium body.

O - Overall this beer was just okay. A bit too roasty and caramel for my tastes.

Quite good but not as spectacular as other beers from this brewery (Disco Soleil, Rose d'Hisbiscus, Moralité). Still, this is a decent altbier.
