Yeah, its how you inpart oak flavor...get some used oak barrels and you can get some wine, bourban, etc flavors too along with the potential of brett

Oak flavor. I mean it is kinda obvious. I don't know what more we can say about it.

You can find many oaked versions of popular beers. Try getting an oaked and non oaked version and try them side by side. This should give you a good idea of what an oaked flavor is.

That or go cut down an oak tree and chew on a branch.
