I agree with Seth to try these after a little storage time.
Not sure what part of the hoppiness you don't like, but you'll find that the aroma and some of the flavor will fade, but the overall bitterness will stay about the same. However, the beer will end up tasting more malty so it might fit in your wheelhouse better. Imperial IPAs, strong ales, and barleywines all have a very similar profile--lots of hops complemented by lots of malt to even things out. Over time, they all kind of blend together into similar, more balanced beers. Good luck enjoying your trip through beerdom!
