A bit out of my comfort zone, but I was intrigued by a collaborative Barley Wine with North Brewery when I was ordering more moderate fare from Good Things Brewing. At 10%abv, a 440ml can was too large a quantity, and it took me an evening to consume. However, it was enjoyable, with the blackcurrant/gooseberry/rhubarb profile of Bullion hops. A traditionalist, I'd prefer it as a "nip" at the end of the evening, rather than the evening's entertainment.
