Hops looks good to me! Yum! I'm not so sure about the chocolate and 120L.. I'd be scared this would turn out too malty and cover up all those yummy hops. Maybe drop the chocolate and scale back the 120L and shoot for a 'pale brown'?

Either way, I'd be interested in trying it as I'd like to do something similar.

Actually, when are you planning on brewing this, I wouldn't mind witnessing (helping if I have too...) to see how another BIAB'er gets it done.

I didn't end up brewing it. I had all the ingredients on hand, plus the yeast I picked up a couple weeks ago, to brew up an Arrogant Bastard clone.

I will be brewing this soon though.

Let me know how it turns out looks good.
