Commercially speaking, I can’t help but not think of Burton Bridge Empire Ale. Made in Burton, Aged in barrel, and bottle conditioned. Not sure of the distribution in your neck of the woods, but this might be able to give you an idea of what you’re in for.
Oh, and Avery Hog Heavan OBVIOIUSLY got a GABF Silver medal in 2007 in the Imperial Red Ale category. Don’t worry about other people’s style restrictions.

Speaking of oak, Vinnie apparently used to throw oak chips into that Blind Pig IIPA...
Just saying, forget all this stuff about the style. If you want something cleaner, go with the metal/bung. If you want something with that touch of oak and vanilla, chuck it in the wood. Unless you are entering it into competition, call it whatever you feel like. If you are entering it in competition, remember to enter it as what it turned out to be, not what you intended it to be.
