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.

Papsoe (21782) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - JUN 22, 2005
(Bottle 25 cl) Dark amber with a nice fluffy head. Very roasted maltiness and some spiciness - coriander again? Some sweetness from the malts and perhaps a bit of brown sugar. Very subdued bitterness. 270198

yespr (20656) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - FEB 12, 2008
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.

omhper (15600) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - SEP 25, 2011
Bottled, thanks Wim & Els! Clear brownish amber, minimal head. Aroma of candy sugar, butter and cinnamon. Sweet with clean mouthfeel and medium body. Rather low flavour intensity, mostly crystalized sugar . Slight spicy hop bitterness.

oh6gdx (15510) - Vasa, FINLAND - OCT 17, 2006
Bottled. Reddish amber colour with mediumsized bubbly head, which quickly goes into a smallsized beige, longlasting one. Aroma is roasted malts, sour fruits with marzipan and a slight sticky alcoholic tone. Flavour is caramelly, malty, slightly metallic and ryeish. Watery palate, and quite "bulk feeling". Very boring.
