Hi guys,
First of all, I'm not talking about wood aging with oak chips soaked in bourbon or wine or anything else, but about directly pouring spirits in.
I've seen a couple of recipes (mostly porters and stouts) in which bourbon/whisky is added. I brewed an Irish coffee imperial stout myself (Jameson whiskey, lactose and coffee) which is very tasty.
I'm wondering, have you ever blended spirits other than whisky/bourbon with your beer? and how was it?
And what about wine? Blending a little bit of sherry with an old ale or oud bruin or somekind of weird funky belgian quad or stout? It could add some nice fruity complexity (dark fruits), and some oxidation notes?
What do you think about that?
