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.
