Hey all. I am going to brew this Barley wine in a couple days. I think it should be hoppier, what do you think? I have only had one Barley wine before. It was Behemoth by Three Floyds. It was DELICIOUS.

I am making this recipe because I have a bunch of malts I want to use up.
I want to age this for awhile. Probably a year at least. Should I age this in the bottles for a year or age it in the secondary? Please say bottle (I want to be able to crack some open earlier!)
Here's the recipe. I did it in Beer Calculus. Here ya go:
OG 1.110
FG 1.027
23* SRM
57.2 IBUs
11.1% ABV
3 Gallon Boil
---------------------------------------------
9.00 lb Light DME
0.50 lb Biscuit Malt
0.50 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt -120L
0.50 lb Red Wheat
0.50 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 80L
0.50 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 40L
0.50 lb Gambrinius Honey Malt - 20L
0.25 lb Special B Malt
0.25 lb Victory Malt
1.00 oz Centennial @ 90 min (First Wort Hop)
1.00 oz Summit @ 90 min
1.00 oz Nugget @ 90 min
1.00 oz Willamette @ 30 min
1.00 oz Cascade @ 20 min
1.00 lb Corn Sugar (Dextrose)
2 Pkgs Safale US-05
Any comments appreciated. Thanks!
