I ended up splitting the batch - 1/2 w/ honey and cherry and the other half w/ Baker's bourbon soaked medium toast oak cubes. Three of us did this Zoigl style or 'Community Brew' One batch w/ Belgian yeast, one Burton and mine was Oktoberfest yeast. The Belgian had lbs of sour cherries, the Burton had Godiva Liquer and Mine had the Bourbon oaked version. I want to do another Zoigle w/ members of the homebrew club in Lancaster PA. I want to try an RIS or perhaps go the other way and do an ordinary bitter. This ended up being 9.6% abv, I substituted John Bull Marris Otter and cut down on the 2 row and some specialty grains.
