I brewed a barleywine back on June 4th and transfered to a secondary on June 30th. I took a hydro reading today and it was 1.032. I started off at 1.110. So, I am at about 70% attenuation with a ABV of 10.26%. I tasted the hydro sample and while it tasted good it had that burning alcohol feeling going down. Is this normal for a higher alcohol beer? If so, will the "hotness" fade over time?
