I bottled up a Belgian-esque ale and treated 3 bottles in the way you describe. I put 2 cubes in each 22oz bottle, I've only had one, and it was noticeably oaked, haven't tried the others, I'll have to do that soon, it's been about 6 months. I put them in a pyrex cup and boiled them in the microwave before addition. I'll post a reply whenever I try another to let you know how it went. The downside is that once you add them, you have no control over the character you get.
