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.

Pink and purple label, vintage 2010, shared by T.J, much thanks. Amber color with a ton of yeast and sentiment. Aroma is malty, alcohol, caramel, and a shit ton of Christmas spices.
Yeast is dusty, a tad bit papery but considering the age it is not bad. Of course the alcohol is totally hidden at this point. The spice seems to have preserved it somewhat. Nothing real off putting. Not bad.

Si la brasserie De Struise avait une devise celle-ci pourrait être : le goût avant tout. Leur recherche de la complexité et des arômes est particulièrement poussée. Même si cela n’est pas la saison, je me tente à la déclinaison en bière de Noël. Peut être l’envie de garder une âme d’enfant et de retrouver les bancs de l’école. D’une couleur ambrée, trouble, celle-ci présente peu d’effervescence et aucune mousse à sa surface. Comme toute bière de Noêl qui se respecte, celle-ci présente un fort titrage alcoolique, de 10% Abv, pour nous réchauffer. Au nez, les arômes sont très suaves, sur les fruits confits, le pains d’épices et les abricots secs. L’attaque première est sur le miel laissant ensuite place à l’amertume et un corps qui se densifie et se complexifie sur des arômes épicés, de pain d’épice et de pruneau. La densité gustative, importante, manque toutefois de maîtrise et déséquilibre fortement la Tsjeeses. La finale, longue, apporte de surcroit des notes d’alcool vieux tel que le cognac avec une touche liquoreuse provenant d’une saturation en sucre. Le palais est alors complètement perdu avec une impression de lourdeur soutenue. En conclusion, la Tsjeeses mériterait d’être épurée afin de gagner en lisibilité gustative. Il faut néanmoins saluer la complexité de cette bière. Et une chose est certaine, je suis bien réchauffé!

Bottle from Cork & Cask. Hazy amber body with a thin off-white head. No lacing. Aroma of syrup and strawberries. Flavour of caramel, peppery malt and heather honey - sweet but not cloying. Medium body with a sticky mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Drinks well for the strength but lacks complexity and depth.
