Asking my American bretheren for help on a way out recipe for an club brew competition. Everything has to be based on the number 7, therefore not counting water or yeast I need

7 grains and / or adjuncts / hops.
Need to be 7% strength
Has to have IBU rating of at least 70.
Got to be drinkable in 7 weeks.

Racked my brain and the searched high & low but can't find anything I like. Anyone in the good ole USA and places elsewhere got a simple recipe to help.

Remember we get different ingredients in Australia so don't include anything too North American specific.

7% ABV and ready in 7 weeks are mutually exclusive in my opinion.

I brewed this in Feb. out of a bunch of stuff I had in the fridge. I was not looking to produce anything special, I just wanted to try my new burner. It turned out pretty good. I waited 6 - weeks to drink and I force carbed in a keg.

There are 7 malts/hops/ sugar if you count the sugar. The actual ABV was a bit higher than 7%, but that is because I had higher efficiency than anticipated. Also some brew notes are attached.

To get the IBUs up play around with the hops a bit, but I am not sure I would like it with the higher IBUs. I think 2 oz of the bittering would do it.

The grain bill was also an attemp to find my capacity. I would not do this much grain again in my 5 gallon igloo.

Notes

mash start temp=156 deg
ph using 5.2 = 5.2
note: lid did not seat all the way too mush grain (at least the upper limit)
I used more like 4 gal of water (added in a gal of boiling once the grain was on the 3 gal of 170 degree water)
Sparged in 3 batches using 180 degree water. Added an additional 2 gallons of 180 degree water and boiled seperatly until the wort boiled off enough to add it in
At end of 75 min mash temp = 155 and ph = 5.2
