I am looking at an old ale recipe kit on morebeer.com and it says that the beer can be aged on Hungarian or French oak cubes to add a bit of flavor. I went to the section of their website that has the oak cubes and found a lot of options. Can someone tell me what the difference in flavor will be between Hungarian, French, and American oak cubes?

I am curious about this too. I'd like to put my barleywine on some oak. The BN podcast mentioned using 2 different types for a mix of oak flavors.

So you are saying that the three types of oak all offer the same flavor profile, just differing degrees of intensity. Is that right?
