Cycler's Brewing has a few beers coming out soon. They'll have an India Pale Lager, a RIS with vanilla beans, a Rye Pils, a wild-plum kettle-sour, a new Belgian Trippel and some...
He and I both noted how the super-complex flavors were well balanced by the wood and vanilla notes, and the absence of cherries and spices allowed the dark fruit and banana flavors to meld well. As of 2/10/2017, they only had 3 half barrel kegs left, so if you're into big, complex, Belgian beer, go check it out.
