Commercial Description:
In Flanders, "Ezel" {donkey} is a nickname given to specific people or even entire village communities. However, as the people of this area, the word "Ezel" symbolizes not so much stupidity, but patient and dogged perseverance, a perseverance that is quite conscious of its own quality. The same applies to this ale: brewed from raw materials of the highest quality, it has a mellow taste that shows a real personality.

Bottle at Cambrinus in Brugge. Light aroma of cooked dark fruits - aka raisins. Dark amber color with a fine beige head. Less than medium body. Fine carbonation. It’s a great flow of light caramel and floral/herbal hop. It’s balanced. It goes with spicey food. It finishes well. Truly sessionable (except for the ABV).

Bottle@Home. Very strange aroma. Is it malt? Don’t know. It’s sweet and sourish, raisin, figues and?. Dark amber color, beige head, good lace. Sweet, caramel malts, light herbal bitterness, hint of raisin. Sticky mouthfeel. Better than expected.

25 cL bottle, thanks to MiP. Pours golden amber with a lacing off-white head. Light spiced and caramel malty aroma. Flavour light fruity (dried to overripe), and light yeasty. Somewhat oxidised, yet not to dominantly. Ends with a light fruity note and no real bitterness.

250ml bottle from Bier Tempel, Brussels. Sweet, jammy, brown malt, licorice, raisins, cardboard, marmite and dog shit. Aroma of twiglets. Thin, dryish, blood tinged finish. An OK beer.
