I was thinking it might be interesting to make a beer and toss in some American oak chips into the secondary to give add a bit of a bourbon-esque flavour. I did a search of the forums and found a few vague references, but I couldn't find much info. So firstly, can anyone thats tried something like this comment on how its turned out?
And what styles do you guys reckon would be best complemented in such an experiment? I was thinking you'd probably want to avoid anything where the oak is going to have to compete too much with the hops on the palette. Maybe a porter or a mild or something?
Gimme your thoughts guys!
