I brewed a wheatwine that I aged with oak cubes that I'd like to enter in a local competition. I'm wondering which category to enter it in. The competition is using the 2008 BJCP style guide which doesn't recognize wheatwine as a style (in the 2014 draft it is 22D).
If it wasn't oak-aged, I would probably enter it in category 23. The oak is noticeable. I'm wondering if I can enter it in category 22C (Wood-aged beer), which states: "Specialty or experimental base beer styles may be specified, as long as the other specialty ingredients are identified."
Should I enter it in 22C as "Wheatwine aged with oak cubes, 50% wheat malt as base"?
I'd like to avoid category 23 if possible because I have another beer I'd like to enter in there.
