Description
Huisbrouwerij Den Tseut is een kleine ambachtelijke brouwerij midden in het dorp van
Oosteeklo.
De naam "den Tseut" verwijst naar de spotnaam van de Oosteeklonaren, de varkens.
Oosteeklo is een varkensgemeente en Den Tseut is het dialect voor varken.

We zijn gestart in juni 2008, dan is ons 1ste biertje gebrouwen, ons huisbier Den Tseut.

Het brouwen zit bij mij in het bloed, mijn beide grootvaders waren actief in de brouwsector.
Mijn ene grootvader was brouwer bij Van Hoorebeke in Assenede, de ander was aan de slag in de mouterij te Boekhoute.
Ikzelf heb een opleiding gevolgd aan de Hoge School te Gent en slaagde er met grote onderscheiding.
Zo heb ik thuis mijn installatie zelf ontworpen.

Bottle @ home. Unclear golden body under a huge, foamy white head. Aroma has pale malt, hint of citric fruit and spicy yeast. Taste has more of a classic triple than honey beer. There is sweet pale malt, white sugar, spicy yeast, esters, some citric fruit and then just a gentle touch of honey. Not bad, I think I prefer the modest honey flavor in this kind of beer, the honey is more like another spicy thing to the triple. Balanced body and a bit moderate in aftertaste. Decent.

As Stout'n Tseut 7.5%. Black with stable creamy head. There's a lemonade sharp, sour element to this which is a big defect and a shame. Would like to try an unspoiled batch.

Bottle from Geers. Clear dark golden, thinning, white head. Aroma of ripe apple, apricot, banana, white bread, grain, sugar. Taste has sweet red apple, apricot & melon, white bready & yeasty body, bit sugary, spicy phenolic edge. Grassy hoppy finish in a 'wet' way, more spices & ripe fruit & warming jenever-like alcohol. Medium body, slick-sticky texture, average carbonation. Don't care too much about these beers anymore.

Strong ale by Huisbrouwerij Den Tseut, aged on oak chips - and raisins. Comes from a 75 cl bottle with crown cap and neckfoil, bought at De Hopduvel in Ghent. Slow gusher, but manageable. Eggshell-white, bit irregular, frothy and pillowy, tightly papery lacing head on a lightly hazy deep orangey-amber beer with enthusiastic sparkling throughout, turning into a misty, slightly brownish-tinged amber with sediment. Aroma of toasted peanuts, dried rosemary, dried apple peel, brandy, indeed old oak wood, orange peel, brown soap, young 'jenever', bitter tree leaves, subtle hints of pan-fried potatoes, toasted pumpkin seeds, roasted carrots, persimmon, multi-grain bread crust, wood glue, black radish peel, plastic. Fruity, spritzy onset, lively carbonated with minerally effects, hints of peach, red apple, persimmon and some slight bubblegummy banana; full, soft mouthfeel, a bit vinous from the considerable alcohol level. Soggy toast-, rusk- and bread crust-like maltiness with a peanutty edge as well as a light streak of caramel but not much residual sweetness, rather dryish in fact, with a phenolic spicy effect in the end distracting a bit from the oak chips and the raisins (the latter only being noticeable in a very 'distorted' way that I would never recognize as such - they do not even add sweetness, only a rather frugal dried fruit accent). A somewhat wry yeast bitterness is highlighted less by the oak effect (though woody tannins are present) and more by a heating, strong, 'jenever'- to brandy-like alcohol effect in the end, with rather wry impressions of old potato peel, nutmeg, dried bitter herbs and even plastic lingering, distracting from the nevertheless elegant vanilla-like scent provided retronasally by the oak chips. Rather crude, boozy and unrefined, clearly an attempt at a more 'up-market' luxury beer, but in need of a lot of finetuning, if e.g. recent editions of Dolle's Stille Nacht Special Reserva or even Bush Prestige are to be seen as leading examples in this particular segment of 'wood-aged' Belgian style barleywines. Honorable attempt, but not worth its price tag - yet.

Lourde en bouche, sans grande complexité et des arômes peu emballants de miel, céréales et pomme de terre j'ai eu du mal à m'emballer pour cette triple. En verre, nous avons un blond doré limpide avec une joli mousse blanche nappant la surface. Attention tout de même de ne pas faire tomber le houblon dans votre verre, et ce au sens propre du terme (c'est la première fois que je vois cela, mais ne pense pas que ce soit voulu). Le nez est sur le miel, les céréales et la pomme de terre…cocktail morose qui accompagne par la suite toute la dégustation. Avec sa sucrosité, l'alcool à 10 % ne se fait pas ressentir mais donne à la fois du corps et de la chaleur. Mais il aurait surtout fallu une amertume un peu plus poussée pour rehausser tout cela et donner un peu de flamboyance. Au lieu de cela on s'ennuie et ce ne sont pas longueur et corpulence, bonnes, qui y changeront quoi que ce soit. Triple ennuyeuse.
