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.

Bloekie (191) - BELGIUM - AUG 20, 2009
The aroma is nothing to write home about. Appearance is that of a clear amber beer. Flavor is really nice, with a palate that goes from sweetness to soury and a really bitter hoppy finish. Enjoyable!

Benzai (2298) - Oirschot, NETHERLANDS - NOV 24, 2011
Bottle @ home. Clear dark orange / copper to brown color with a small off-white head. Smell malts and not too sweet. Not much more. Tastes more bitter then most ’bruin/dubbels’ do. Decent taste. Little bit thin though. Average carbo, medium body.

bhensonb (7143) - Woodland, California, USA - MAY 28, 2008
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).

De Zolder, Brugge, New Year’s Eve. Clear red and thinly headed. Chewy, waxy, prune-sodden aroma. Flavour srtaightforwardly malty, with lots of chewy dark fruit. Didn’t strike me as overly sweet at all. Simple but good.

diabel (1506) - Aarschot, BELGIUM - AUG 18, 2008
Bottle Hazy, amber-brown body. Off-white, creamy head. Lightly infected aroma (butterscotch, diacethyl (?)), fenols, malts (medium strong), wine, ... Quite badly balanced aroma. Moderately bitter, moderately sweet flavour. Flavour is ok, although the balance is not perfect, but that’s not really disturbing. Powdery dry mouthfeel.
