White Pony – Know Your Enemies

Know Your Enemies from the Italian White Pony microbrewery.

A brand new beer in their barrel-aged series!

Not a Barleywine or Imperial Stout this time, but a Tripel IPA matured in Japanese oak Whiskey barrels.

At first it reminds me a bit of that other barrel-aged Tripel IPA, the Join the Struggle.

A certain influence of the oak barrel aging in combination with a slightly fruity and hoppy taste.

Because the beer was hopped again after barrel maturation, the bitterness comes out well.

Still a solid 11% alcohol content on the counter!
