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.

I dont think this beer should be aged at all. The aroma was bready sweet and earthy. The taste was metallic, earthy, and kinda like stale bread soaked in apple juice. Just tasted musty and bad to me. I would like to retry a fresh bottle at some point.

Apply nose, sweet and tons of light malts, the hop bitterness is probably all faded since this is pretty old. Very bready and yeasty. Again however struise amazingly masks the alcohol

Don’t like the bottleart. The beer itself didn’t blow me away. Pretty decent but also pretty average.

A cloudy brown color with a white head. This one was like a well seasoned porn star......a GUSHER! Still cleaning up. Aroma contains some nutmeg, caramel, yeast and dough. The flavor is very nice with some caramel, raisin, toffee, and sour apple. The finish is a little spicy. This hides the alcohol well. Im a fan of this.

Enjoyed this On tap at the 7th Annual Belgium Fest yesterday at Max’s in Baltimore Nice orange color that is a bit darker than typical for the style. A decent amount of floral sweetness on the nose but not as much as I would have liked. The taste was outstanding and the stone fruit sweetness went really well with this slight bitterness. I wish more of this would have came through on the nose. The carbonation was nice and light providing for an overall great mouth feel. Serving type: on-tap

I’ve had this bottle for several years. #11. Musty, older nose. Color is dark gold and very cloudy. Taste is not as awful as the nose. Wheaty, older hops, this beer has not aged well. I hate to rate this but the RB community needs to know to not age this beer and drink it fresh.

Extremely good winter tripel beer with an excellent complexity in flavours.
