Strong blond winterbeer that matured for 8 months on different stonefruits. Tsjeeses was born out of a 5 year brewing experience regarding x-mas beer without being capable of finding a suitable name all that time. With the name came a face, a caricature actually, that was drawn on the day Urbain, our brewing slave, drank too many Tsjeeses’s. Every time he drinks one, he says "Tsjeeses, what a beer". Therefore the name is more an expression of stupefaction than a curse.
We have had already many discussions around the pronounciation of "Tsjeeses". Very close would be that you say "cheeses" or cheese in plural.

Bottle from Vanuxeem, Belgium. A lot going on with this beer, spicy, some orange, a little caramel, mild yeast but seems needlessly strong at 10%. At 7% this would probably be more enjoyable.

Bottle with a new friend. Pretty sweet overall. I compare it more to a barleywine than just a strong ale. Fruity with figs and apricots, finish is clean but with that candied sugar persisting.

Bottle. Pours clear amber with airy off-white head. Clear aroma of malt amd caramel with subtle dusty note. Sweet flavour of malt and caramel with notes of dried fruit. Lingering sweetish aftertaste. Warming alcohol presence. A nice one.

33 cl bottle @ home. Rated on 07.03.2010
Aroma has caramel malt, some ripe fruits, apricot and toffee. Flavour is somewhat spicy with caramel, ripe fruits, some apricot, hints of alcohol and toffee. Also some peppery spices and earthy notes typical to saisons. A bit too spicy for my liking. Something between Belgian strong, saison and tripel.

Bottled:
Pours a muddy brown colour with a thick head, Acidic aroma with notes of lemons, dates and brown sugar. The flavour is pretty much like the aroma. Long, dry finish.

(bottle, 33cl, vintage 2012) Almost cloudy, amber colour with a dense mid-sized and slightly tanned foamy head. Mildly yeasty cara-malty and slightly sugary aroma with an almost vinous berry-fruity touch, notes of almonds/marzipan, caramel, accompanied by spicy notes of cinnamon and ginger. Sweet flavour, quite full bodied with a well-carbonated mouthfeel. Solid, slightly sugary cara-malt character with a touch of berries/raisins and present spicy notes of mainly ginger and a tinge of cinnamon; moderately sweet, delicately tart and quite spicy finish with a well-integrated alcoholic strength. Good and quite complex brew, just a tad too spicy to be one of my personal faves. 18.I.13
