Planning a pipeline

Spring has gotten me on a real brew kick. I did a pilot APA, a B-Wit, and O-fest. I want to plan some long lead-time brews to ensure a well lubed winter. I figure I can last brew outdoors within reason late October.

What are some good, long lead time beers I can start considering making this fall to be ready throughout winter. Pref no abbeys or pilsners/lighter lagers.

I made a couple high gravity beers, a Westmalle Tripel clone, and a SMaSH MO/EKG barley wine, that got better and better until the last bottle was gone. Start brewing now for New Years! I boosted the ABV of the Trip with two separate additions of home made invert syrup after primary settled down, getting near 10%.

A dry-hopped Imperial Red Ale would hold up, Robust Porter, any heavier stouts. Scottish ales work well for aging, I did a strong Scotch Ale (9.3%ABV) and aged it on bourbon soaked oak chips 6+months.

My Neighbor and I brew outside as well, so we did this very thing last winter. We made an Imperial Stout, American Barley Wine, English strong ale, Belgian Quad, Imperial Vanilla Bourbon Porter, and a Giant Malt Bomb. It worked pretty good as we had home brew to drink all winter, however we realized that having a fridge full of 10% plus beers wasn't always a good thing.

Out of that bunch here was our favorite
