mrtim1	4 Kop Troebel goudgeel bier dat goed schuimt. Alweer een top biertje gebrouwen door Stefan de Decker. Smaakt zoet, plakkerig, vlees smaak, vanille. Smaakbom Sunday, February 4, 2024
Beer5000	3.5 Bras Bottle @ home. Almost clear, deep brown body under a fine tan head. Aroma has roasted malt, bread, caramel and Belgium yeast. Taste is distinct malty, medium roasted, brown sugar, Belgium yeast and slightly warming, mild alcohol. Balanced body with the same aftertaste. I’m always impressed how these Belgium beers can be made at this alcohol strength without feeling boozy at all. Not much going on here really, but still a honest, tasty and well made strong ale. Must be appreciated in these pastry adjuncts times. Saturday, October 21, 2023
Beer5000	3.2 't Zeemken 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.

mrtim1	3.5 Den Krulsteirt Nieuwe uitgave van 2023 met 5,5% alcohol gebrouwen door Huisbrouwerij Den Tseut. Het is een amberkleurig bier met witte schuimkraag. Smaak: vooral sterk kruidig, licht bitter, hop, lemoen, citrus. Sunday, June 18, 2023
mrtim1	3 't Zeemken Amberkleurige troebele tripel met een witte schuimkraag. Smaakt fruitig, perzik, kruidig met een droge bittere afdronk. De honing proef je heel lichtjes. Ik heb al betere tripels gedronken Wednesday, August 24, 2022
corkyrory66	2.8 Belle Cies Blonde forte de 10 % abv. L'entame est assez doucereuse, et peu définie. La suite montre un peu plus de développement, mais on n'est pas dans la sophistication à outrance !! CONCLUSION : les cieux sont beaux, mais belle cies n'est pas avec ces yeux-là .. Tuesday, July 26, 2022
corkyrory66	2.9 De Cister Triple de 6,5 % abv, brassée avec des houblons locaux. Signalons quand même que triple n'est pas copine avec 6,5 .. mais ceci est un détail, et ne nous regarde pas … D'autant plus que nous osons parler d'une bière à tendance avouée vers le cistercien .. à moi que tout ceci ne fasse que concerner ma sœur (sister ?). Bref, on ne va pas se casser les dents sur un petit 6,5 !! On se les cassera d'autant moins que l'on est sur un banana split. CONCLUSION : la cister est plutôt une coquine qu'une copine .. Il suffit de voir sa tronche sur l'étiquette !! (music pairing : Last days of Eden, album Butterflies .. bien vu ..) Tuesday, July 26, 2022
corkyrory66	3.2 't Zeemken Triple de 8,5 % abv, brassée au malt pils et avec du miel. Arômes de fruits jaunes et pointe de miel. L'entame est douce, avec un équilibre plutôt correct. La longueur ne démontre toutefois pas assez de caractère. CONCLUSION : triple marquée par la douceur Tuesday, July 26, 2022

mike_77	2.4 Den Tseut Stout 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. Saturday, March 26, 2022

VM	4 Bras Tuesday, March 30, 2021
nathanvc	3 Den Drupneuze 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. Wednesday, December 30, 2020
Wixie	3.5 Bras Dark brown liquid, large head. Aroma of sugar, malt. Medium body, little bit carbonation. Taste is sweet. Friday, July 24, 2020
Alengrin	3.3 Den Tseut Cuvée van 't Virken 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. Sunday, April 26, 2020

jybi	3.5 Belle Cies 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. Sunday, September 15, 2019
Alengrin	3.6 Den Tseut Stout Den Tseut's first attempt at a non-Belgian beer style, tasted at Maldegems Bierfestival in spring; unfortunately I seem to have lost my notes, so this one is from sheer memory. Mousy, medium thick, regular, lacing, pale beige head on a black beer with thin mahogany edges. Aroma of roasted walnuts, coffee grounds, bitter chocolate, dried figs, tea, toasted brown bread, nutmeg, cloves, light bubblegum. Clean onset, fruity hints of fig and fried banana, medium fizz, slick and oily mouthfeel, tad bubblegummy, toasted-nutty, somewhat caramelly and bitter-chocolatey malt profile with a coffeeish roasted bitter finish, under which a sourish undertone runs; herbal and spicy hop bitterish notes in the end along with mild phenolic effects and lingering dark, bitter maltiness. This creation has apparently only been sold at a handful of beer festivals so far, but the brewery told me that they have intentions to further finetune this beer and eventually release it under another name - at which point this entry will become an alias. Frankly, I was not expecting Den Tseut to come up with a stout as clean and to the point as this one; a basic dry stout it is, opening possibilities for further elaborations. Well done and unexpected, I was pleasantly surprised by this un-Tseut-like beer and I hope to encounter it again in its final form; I would even recommend the brewer to further elaborate on it and create a bunch of different stouts based on this progenitor, that would certainly draw more attention to them from the beer geek community (if that is indeed what they are after by creating this beer).

steph+	3.3 Den Tseut Ok Saturday, May 11, 2019
Alengrin	2.9 De Cister One of Tseut’s tripels, apparently one I have missed so far, now sampled at Maldegems Bierfestival. Snow white, moussy, foamy, bit irregular and quickly opening, but edge-retaining head, misty apricot blonde robe with golden hue. Aroma of peach, banana, strong DMS (overcooked broccoli), cooked potato, raw turnip, dough, camomile, rainwater, minerals. Sweetish onset, light banana ester, notes of unripe pear and peach, quite harshly stinging carbonation; fluffy bready maltiness, bit cereally, with floral hoppiness in the finish adding light bitterness, but the DMS returns as well, much to my annoyance. Not Tseut’s best effort, neither technically nor conceptually – and completely redundant even within their own range. Why create yet another cliché blonde like this? Tuesday, March 19, 2019
RudiGR	2.4 Den Drupneuze Gekocht in "de biertempel" te Brugge tijdens het 7é bierfestival. Het is een amber tot bruin winterbier. Het vele schuim heeft een gebroken witte kleur is gelijkmatig en zakt weer in. Weinig pareling te zien. De geur is complex; veel bruine suiker, mout en een sterke drop geur, heel even dacht ik zelfs een elastiekje? te ruiken .De smaak is voornamelijk zoet, toch tamelijk volmondig. Het heeft een rare scherpe en korte nasmaak met een lichte nabitterheid. De rare nasmaak komt waarschijnlijk van de combinatie van bruine suiker en de drop. Het lijkt zelfs wat op geconcentreerde porto? Er bleef een beetje gist achter op de bodem van het flesje.

Bierridder_S	3.6 De Werkmens 22/11/2018 - 33cl bottle from a trade with jerre. Clear amber colour, nice off-white head. Nose is chocolate and caramel malts, banana. Taste starts sugary, caramel, hint of chocolate, ripe fruits, bit oily, Nicely drinking. Nothing special but easy drinking and enjoyable. You could say easy going with some special features just like the man it should honour. Friday, November 23, 2018
Beerhunter111	2.9 Hoppesnoet 33cl bottle from a trade with Jefverstraete, thanks! A clear dark golden beer with a huge good lasting off-white head. Aroma of dry spicy and grassy hops, strong pale malt. Taste of strong sweet pale mat, sugar, grains, cereals, no tripel hops.. Tuesday, October 30, 2018
Jerre	3.9 De Werkmens Geproefd in de brouwerij op 29 september 2018, tijdens WBF busbezoek. (van 33cl fles) Licht wazig amberbier met een gebroken witte kraag. Aroma: karamel, (vol)moutig, zoet en hop. Medium body. Smaak: zoetje, karamel, granig en (vol)moutig, zacht hopbitter. Verradelijk erg doordrinkbaar bier zonder dat je beseft dat deze 8 % is. Sunday, September 30, 2018
Jerre	3.9 Bras Gisteren 29 september 2018 geproefd tijdens brouwerijbezoek met bus WBF. Wat een upgrade t.o.v. de vroegere 'den Bras'. Wazig diep donkerbruin zelfs bijna zwart, met beige (iets minder stabiele) kraag. Aroma: gebrande donkere mout, beetje donker fruit, chocolade en alcohol. Volle body. Smaak: zoet, gebrande mout, honing, karamel, chocolade, tikje zoethout, bitter. Top. Sunday, September 30, 2018
Hamirubi	3.2 De Werkmens 33cl bottle at the two-days folklore festival 'Het dorp van Ivan', Oosteeklo (2 IX 2018). This was the first try-out of De Werkmens. It is a beer brewed in honor of Ivan Heylen, a local singer who had a famous, nation-wide hit with 'De Werkmens' in 1973 ('The Blue Collar Man'). This beer is brewed 45 years after this song. At the same time, this probably is the last new beer from Den Tseut, also from Oosteeklo, just before the renovation and expansion of this smallscale company from home microbrewery to actual home brewery. Although rumours had it that this would be a canned beer, it was served straight from bottles. The appearance is quite startling and beautiful, with a yellow to dark brown coloured gloom adding a nice mystique to the brew, which is dark and slightly greasy as well. The body has a deliberate brown-black shade. The beer style hints a abbey dubbel or a caramelized amber brew. An interesting starting point. The execution is a bit more straightforward, I'm afraid. The nose has different brown sugar, sugar candy, and even liquorice notes. They all cover the malt grain odours. The mouthfeel is medium strong, corresponding to the 8 % ABV. A sweet tongue makes a first introduction, even overwhelming the overall taste. The sugar basis barges in, in an unnatural fashion. The chocolate and malts base is welcoming, though. The palate is somewhat fleshy, which is enjoyable, but never becomes oily. All in all, a nice good-drinking brew with some dull performances. Tuesday, September 4, 2018

Hermod	3.1 Belle Cies 75cl bottle. Shared. Deep golden color with a thin white head. Aroma has almonds, ripe fruits, marzipan. Flavor has ripe fruits, almonds, sweetness. No booze, but too almondy for me. Saturday, December 9, 2017
