Quercus Vitis Humulus is Latin for Oak Grape Hop.  Quercus Vitis Humlus is the latest beer from Otter Creeks imperial series.  Most of us remember Otter Creek as an unimpressive brewery, but over the last year that has changed dramatically.  Their first beer from this line was an incredible Russian Imperial Stout, followed by an equally impressive Imperial IPA, and now this very unique sounding Quercus Vitis Humulus.  This beer is a barley wine, that has been referemented with french grapes and then aged on lightly toasted oak.
