Solera Project

Move day is tomorrow. Once I get settled I'm looking to procure a barrel from one of Texas' many wineries and then have a massive brew day to fill it up. I'd like to do it as a solera, get my hands on a couple smaller barrels and remove/blend/fill every six months to a year. What I don't know is exactly what style to brew. Whatever barrel I manage to get my hands on I'm hoping for it to be neutral oak, so I don't need it to be a beer that can stand up to massive oak character.

The few styles I have in mind are; flanders red, Belgian golden strong, Belgian stout, Tripel, Saison (possibly a dark saison) or a Wheatwine (like a barleywine but with a crapload of wheat).
