Presumably aged barley wines? Fresh, they can be pretty hoppy like IPAs and hot like imp stouts, though the latter doesn't seem like an issue for you.

I like English Style Barleywines, so I tend to drink those more often than American. I also am a fan of Barrel Aged Barleywines, and again those tend to be brewed in the English style.
