COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Deep to orange blond abbey triple winterbeer which has been lagered for 8 months on different stonefruits. Tsjeeses was born out of a 5 year brew experience regarding x-mas beer without being capable of finding a suitable name up to now. With the name came a face, a caricature actually, that was drawn on the day Urbain, our brew master and master brewer, 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.

What’s with the looks!? This is not just a winterbeer, it’s a snowbeer! Something brown with a beige head. It’s not cloudy, it’s snowy! Very fullbodied. Taste is really nice with biscuit, caramel, spices. Very nice winterbeer. But the looks...

Bottle. Amber colour with dense beig head. Aroma sweet sugar, and maybe hubba bubba bobblegum. Taste sweet malty, with a very hot alcohol burn. The alcohol is too dominating, otherwise a nice beer. 5 - 10 cl would be fine, a bottle gets cloying.

Opened the 2010. Pours a dark orange in the glass with a frothy head. Aroma of bread with herbs and figs. Taste is unlike any other, quit bitter and a little salty. Medium to full body. Struise has been better.

UPDATED: DEC 22, 2011 Bottle @ 4th Ave Pub w Erica. Pours a mirky yellow-gold with no lacing. Aroma is not very noteworthy, but taste is shockingly fruity for a Christmas beer, with notes of peach, pear, prune and I think even pineapple with maybe some citrus. Very intense and immediately off-putting, but gets points for being bold and distinctive. Almost like some sort of a SoCo mixed drink. Not for me, but it is intricate.

On tap at Bad Apple Chicago. Almost clear orange with covering dusting of head, pretty dense lacing that slides back down for the most part. Dried fruits and a coating layer that reminds me of de dolle’s sweeter beers (without all that sweetness). Finish is lightly herbal with a drying effect from the alcohol. Light carbonation is at a really good level. There’s some basil here in the finish. Smells of toast, brown sugar, buttery sweetness, maybe some pepper, and the least hint of mint.

Poured from 12oz bottle. Pours a murky copper color with a bit of fizzy head. No lacing at all. Aroma is belgian yeast, some peach and just a bit of spice. Taste follows the nose with loads of Belgian yeast and some candied fruits. Very tasty.
