Barrel Aged Docks Brown Ale

Can't find a description anywhere of what kind of barrels were used to age this beer, so if I find out it was some sort of wine barrel, I'll completely change my opinion. But, seeing as the industry standard for a beer simply labeled barrel aged is a whiskey barrel, then that's how I'm basing my opinion. And, if this was aged in a whiskey barrel, then something has gone terribly wrong. Huge waves of tart berry and vinegar on the nose, and the taste follows suit. Starts out reminiscent of Docks Brown, but then quickly grows sour, with a oxidized tang and plenty of vinous notes backed up by a little funk and oak. Again, if this beer is meant to be wild or was aged in a cab barrel or the like, that's different. But if this is a BBA beer...whoa, nelly.
