No kidding about the over-hopped. I wouldn't go near even 70IBUs in a stout unless I was brewing a big imperial stout to balance it out.
 
I typically enjoy over-hopped takes on beers, so I tried my hand at making one, definitely one of my favorite beers, up there with Sublimely. I tried a second batch that I didn't like any more or less that I accidentally put 2 oz of Northern Brewer and 1 oz Fuggles in for 60 minutes and the 3rd oz of northern brewer for the last 10 minutes. Less IBUs if that would be the only off-putting factor for you, though if the bitterness if the off-putting factor, this beer in general probably wouldnt be for you.
