The commissioned ’Ezel’ beers traditionally represent a series of witbiers, but this dark version was added in 2007. Thick, yellowish, creamy, dense head, colour a brownish copper, clear and transparent, warm autumn-like with lively sparkling. Pasteurized, ’cooked’ aroma with further impressions of walnuts, tea, mango, cookie dough, witlof, grassy hops, coriander, nutmeg, cloves and dried leaves. Neutral onset, dried fruits, mild carbonation, smooth and supple mouthfeel, caramelly and slightly nutty malt base, light spicy notes, some floral hops in the finish but insufficiently bitter to my taste and even a little bit cloying. Recently tasted from tap and that was significantly better, though still rather bland.

Imported from my RateBeer account as Bavik Ezel Bruin (by De Brabandere):
Aroma: 5/10, Appearance: 2/5, Taste: 5/10, Palate: 2/5, Overall: 8/20, MyTotalScore: 2.2/5
5/II/13 - 25cl bottle from De Hopduvel (Gent) @ home - BB: 1/III/13 (2013-137)
Clear orange to red beer, not brown at all, small yellow to light beige head, unstable, bit adhesive. Aroma: very sweet and sugary, strawberry jam, candy. MF: ok carbon, light to medium body. Taste: pretty sweet, sugary, red fruits, little bitter, some caramel. Aftertaste: little bitter, red fruits, sugary, bubble bum. Boring as hell, this one. Perfect example to show that there is no correlation between the "raw materials of the highest quality" and the result that comes out of the bottle...
