Brew Batche(s) 62* Cherry Wood Porter?

Having some extra ingredients we thought we'd brew up a double batch of cherry wood porter, but the recipes became a little skewed. Instead of 3 lbs of dark DME we had 6 lbs of dark LME and the usual amount of Munich. Hop additions were the same with slightly different alphas, but the big kicker was in the gravities. First batch was OG 1.076+0.002 @ 76F with the other turning out to 1.104+0.002 @76F! That's why there's a question mark in the title, can you make Porter barleywine?
