Bottle conditioning high Fg beers

[alefric LeHendz]

Hi all, I'm planning to brew and bottle a few barleywines over the next month that are likely to end up with higher then usual fgs (1.02-1.028 & ~9-11%). I was wondering if priming sugar/yeast is needed in beers with a Fg this high. I'm planning on letting the sit for a while so aren't worried about getting a fast carb up.

Any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks

It's awhile since I did a barley wine, but as far as I recall, I primed it as usual and months later it wasn't over carbed. So I assume it would have been under carbed if I hadn't primed it.
