I happened upon a good deal of mild malt recently, and inspired by the following link I decided to try an English Barleywine with Mild Malt as the base. I plan on bulk (keg) aging it one year after primary, and opening it on my daughter's first birthday.
Original recipe:

Some notes:
I don't care that my IBUs are above style, but I'll probably end up changing the hop schedule anyway.
I figure on mashing a bit low.
Planning on adding the brown sugar to the primary in liquid, boiled form.
Think I should add some wheat for head?
I'm thinking an English yeast, and then maybe add some high gravity yeast after 3 days.
This is what I'm thinking:
