The brewery names no hops, malts or yeast. Its page describes the flavor as "Prominent maltiness with layers of fig, toffee and vanilla. Oaky and complex." and the aroma as vanilla, bourbon, woody and sweet, all attributed to the base beer and the barrels rather than to added ingredients (Black Tooth: Barrel Aged 1314).
As category context only, the Brewers Association guidelines have no standalone entry for this competition category; their Other Strong Ale or Lager entry sets elevated alcohol at 8% ABV and up and notes that wood- and barrel-aged beers meeting that threshold are categorized separately. The published 11.7% ABV clears that threshold.
