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.

Cloudy amber to orange liquid, moderate quickly diminishing head. Very fruity nose. Lemon, melon, tropical fruit, candy, Belgian yeast. Complex. Medium to full body. Oily to creamy. Mighty still refreshing taste. Candy, lollipop, melon, spicy yeast, lemony hop. Light to medium bitterness balancing the whole celebration. Very distinct, very complex, a top achievement.

Bottle shared in swap by ShivanDragon. Many thanks! 2015 vintage. Surprisingly easy drinking, with high carbonation. Classic complex Belgian. Spicy, caramel, soft subtle grassy hoppiness. Alcohol dangerously well hidden. Classic.

Bottle (2013) thanks to Fergus. It pours hazy amber with a small off-white head. The aroma is earthy, bready, warming alcohol, spicy, musty, umami, marmite and old oxidised must. The taste is bitter, earthy, musty, brown bread, spice, a bit dusty, oxidised vibe, leather, cereal and some alcohol with a dry finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Decent, if a touch old.
