It's been a very long time since I've made a beer this big and wanted to put it out for a peer review.
 
Not sure about the rest of the recipe but Dragons Milk is not a milk stout and doesnt have lactose, they also use a American Ale yeast for it.
Edit: Hops are Glacier and Nugget
 
Funny, I didn't know there was a beer out there called Dragon's Milk until now. I'm not so clever as I thought I was.
 
I just finished re-reading Fal Allen's book on barley wine. I'm glad I did too, because it reminded me to make two huge starters that will support that same gravity. One, of course, is pitched at the start and the second is pitched again, while the starter is actively fermenting, after a week or so. I've never made a beer this big before, but what could possibly go wrong, right?
