A more detailed FAQ on the program can be found here.
Three of the five 2014 Illuminati beers have been released. The first included a tri-mix of Pandemic Porter with one part aged in rye, one part aged in a Catoctin Creek/maple syrup barrel, and the last part fresh Pandemic Porter. The second was a rye barrel-aged pale ale on pureed raspberries. The third was Two to the Dome Double IPA aged in French Oak Chardonnay barrels and then blended back with freshly brewed Two to the Dome.
