Black goo on aging barrel

Post by neil »

I’m experiencing some black goo dripping out of my oak aging barrel.
see picture
Can someone tell me what it is and why it only shows on the bottom of the front of the barrel (back is totally clean)? When you touch it, it has a high viscosity, feels like tar and smells awesome (just like the content).

It seems like it’s coming strait trough the oak. Do I have a leakage of some kind?
