I am trying to come up with something similar to the Firestone Walker Double DBA Imperial Special Bitter. I plan on aging this for about 11 months in a used Woddinville Whiskey bourbon barrel. This is a recipe that blends a barleywine and an ESB while incorporating some notes that I have read describing the ingredients and brewing method for the Firestone Walker version.
Here is the 8 gallon barrel: http://www.woodinvillewhiskeyco.com/barrels/
If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it. I brew frequently but am not typically very original when it comes to creating a recipe.
