A belgian-style barleywine? We know, the monks would turn around in the grave. But our Oracle is the perfect union of two historical styles as the belgian quadrupels and the english barleywines. Full in body, this copper strong ale releases aromas of caramel, dark & dried fruits and sweet malts, balanced by noble european hops.

Fles gekregen van Inoven. Het is een donkerbruin bier met een medium schuimkraag. Het heeft een aroma van fruit en wat rook. De smaak is vol, fruitig, zacht zoet en wat caramel achtig met een warme afdronk.

Bottled. A dark, almost, black beer with next to no head. The aroma has notes of dried fruits, yeast, candy sugar, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of candy sugar, Belgian yeast, alcohol, and dried fruits, leading to a dry finish.

17 August 2019. At Gents Bierfestival X. Cheers to Anke, Kevin & the crew! Hazy brown-amber with a lasting, frothy, off-white head. Aroma of brioche, cake, red apple, raisin, dried fig, plum, candied orange, sugared green tea. Taste is medium malty sweet, quite thick on caramel, cake, fruity notes of apple, plum & orange, only a tad spicy with a hint of bitter tea leaves, character is bready & brioche-like, as filled with chunks of sugar. Dryish, herbal hoppy finish, lingering candied fruits & cake with strong liqueur-like alcohol, 'thoroughly' the style of White Pony. Medium body, oily texture, fizzy carbonation. All in all enjoyable, but as is so often the case with White Pony the balance is lost. 2 February 2020. At Brugs Bierfestival. Cheers to Anke & Pieter! Lots of sweet dried apricot, banana, raisin & fig, thick biscuity & toffee character, bit herbal, bit spicy (phenolic), lots of expected herbal liqueur alcohol. No need to change my rating here.

Bottle. dark brown color. Maltaroma with hints of dried fruit and butter. Malty sweet, alcoholic flavor with raisin and dried fruit. Warming, pleasant but not abundant with flavors and aromas.
