Yes, Firestone-Walker Double Barrel Ale.

I grew up on it (18 and on) going to school in San Luis Obispo (about 20 miles from the brewery).

definitely looks tasty! i love EKG...no wonder i like this beer.

you'd want to add some oak chips to the secondary, i'd think.

I would go very, very light on the oak chips, if any at all. I also live in the San Luis area and can tell you that that beer has very little oak in it. It is a great beer but not really a true oaked beer, IMO. Regardless of whether you oak it or not let us know how it turns out.

Cheers

I did do a little more research and found out that Firestone Walker only oaks a portion of the DBA and then blends. Furthermore, the portion that they do oak, is only in oak during primary for 7 days.

I may not add any oak at all

I tried oak chips once with not a lot of success. Good Luck as that is a fine beer.

i can taste the oak in it, but you're right...it is beautifully subtle.
