That sounds pretty high gravity. If you are lucky, and your beer matures like mine, after 2-3 months you might have "some" carbonation. I prime for pretty low carbonation (I like the more english style) and tend to have next to nothing after 3-4 weeks. By month 2-3, a bit more CO2 will be present.I brewed a Bourbon Barrel Imperial Stout and bottled it over a month ago. The beer has a good flavor but there is no carbonation. Is there anything I can do to help with that or are these pretty much shot??
I figured I needed to give it some more time and try it out then. Thanks for the help!That sounds pretty high gravity.

That being said, I brew mostly standard gravity brews. Considerably higher gravity may well have an other (negative?) affect.
Try inverting the bottles for a second or two so some of the sediment on the bottom gets re-suspended. Also, make sure they are stored in a warm location. 20C or 68F if possible.I brewed a Bourbon Barrel Imperial Stout and bottled it over a month ago.

How long would you recommend inverting them for? Also, after doing so how long until you refrigerate and drink?Try inverting the bottles for a second or two so some of the sediment on the bottom gets re-suspended. Also, make sure they are stored in a warm location. 20C or 68F if possible.
