How was it?

How was the bourbon, oak aging? The only oak aging I've ever seen was on a dopplebock. How was it in a pilsner?
Would do again

It turned out suprisingly well. The vanilla flavors were insane! The oak and bourbon flavors were very prominent since the beer was so light. I would brew again for sure.
