Victory Brewing Co. » White Monkey (Tripel aged in Oak White Wine Barrles)
ABV: 9.5% | Rating: 8.8/10
This barrel-aged version of Golden Monkey has been on my wish-again list since catching it at a tasting in 2012.
It starts off with a sweet nose that's elegant and soft, fueled by savory spices and sweet coconut. Lively carbonation rushes onto the palate with flavors of smooth stone fruits like white peach and apricot, threaded with distinct notes of vanilla and a breath of oak. There's even a touch of hot, mineral notes that peak through later on.
Overall, a great variation on a popular favorite and a great value from a barrel-aged brew for the price.
