Anyone brew this SN bigfoot barleywine recipe?

Has anyone brewed this BYO bigfoot recipe? I haven’t seen 2.5 hour hop additions in any recipes I’ve come across and it makes me a little nervous to experiment with it. I would be worried about it being too aggressive but I don’t have any experience with these hoppy barelywines.

I have not brewed this recipe, but the BW I brewed was an English style and it required more hops that any IPA I have ever brewed. Usually the big beers require more bitterness due to residual sugars and balance. I'm not sure if a 150 min hop boil would add significantly from say a 90 minute, but if you are going to boil for 150 you may as well get the hops in there. It is only for bittering anyway, so use any high alpha hop you got.
