Wee Heavy thoughts and the 8-14-11 Show

In any event, on to the topic of this post. I was listening to the Sunday session and J was pouring some HotD Adam From the Wood. I got to wondering...

How do you think a Wee Heavy oaked with hungarian oak cubes, and dosed with cherries would turn out?

Thoughts?

You got me there. I really don't know. I'm sipping on a small glass of the wee heavy right now. I'm not sure the oak or the cherry would come through that much without overdoing it.

As expensive as this beer is to brew, I wouldn't want to fuck up the whole works.
