One Mighty Fine Barleywine
If you're looking for something to age, maybe for the holidays, or you've got a bourbon barrel to fill, give this barleywine a try. It's been built to age with over 100 IBUs of hops and has an ABV of 11.4%. Cap or cork the bottles with some wax - you'll keep carbonation in and oxygen out during the aging process.
