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.

Amber with a big and lasting white head. Complex yeast aroma, filled with spice notes, especially vanilla and cinnamon, and lemon and orange. Very dry with the same complex spice flavour. As is the case with Pannepot, this beats the Reserva version any day.

Bottle at home to celebrate beer #999. First off, a massive thanks to ygtbsm94 for this brew. Pours a dark amber cloudy with a quite bubbly off-white head that lasts well and laces a bit. Nose is spicy and tangy, not without a hint of orange, cherries and cinnamon. Little bit of alcohol and quite a bit of berry character too. Slightly lemony, with a constant spice play. Mouth is lemony and warm with an initial hop attack, but balancing out to a nice, slightly sweet, mellow, with lots of spicy fruits. Present throughout is a bit of a spirit burn, but as this makes its way to the palate, it too mellows and plays a warm glow all the way down to my belly! Lots of cinnamon, almost some eucalyptus, soft and very sippable. Tsjeeses, this is a fantastic beer.

RBSG 2008. This had a bit of oxidation to it, but still was a nice brew. Pours a cloudy orange with a small off-white head. Citrus notes give a crisp and tangy character, mild oxidation melds with a woody/earthy finish. The spices seem to mesh well with the malts.

Dark yellow-brown colored with hazy appearance. Medium sized yellow head. Peachy-appricot aroma with yeast and mild alcohol, mild spices also present. Medium bodied. Flavor is also lemony-fruity with yeast and some wooden-herbal notes, lemon and peach last in sour aftertaste.

This Belgian Triple pours a medium orange color from the bottle. Small sized white foamy head. The aroma is fruity and sweet, little bit of funk and some candi sugar. A medium bodied triple. The malts are fruity and sweet. lots of orange and spice. Touch of funk and yeast. Nice beer. Hides the 10% alcohol very well. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Bottle courtesy of fonefan pours hazy copper with beautiful thick white head. The lacing and carbonation is perfect. Aroma is very light plums and raisins. First taste is sweet dark fruit then a slight alcohol bite. The alcohol is hidden very well by the sweet fruit and carbonation. Not just a winter beer, I could drink this all year long.

Courtesy of Irishboy at RBSG. Pours a light gold orange with a small off white head. Smells of some big funky notes, lots of spice, coriander, and mild candy sugar. Pretty interesting flavors. Lots of spice, funk, sweet citrus fruits, yeast, and a subtle tartness. Very interesting combination and it definitely peeked my interest. Finishes lightly tart and funky, pretty full bodied for the style as well. Nice.
