Recipe Input

I need some input, having never constructed my own recipe:

I've just found out that I will be able to borrow a 5 gal. keg and I want to brew a beer for my wedding in April. I want something similar to Stone's 15th anniversary Black IPA.

Here's what I'm thinking so far:

10-12 lb American 2 Row
2 lb Crystal 90
2 lb Victory
1 lb Chocolate (maybe Black Patent instead?)

Chinook for bittering, Cascade for aroma:

90 minute boil.

1.0 oz Chinnok at 60/45/30 min
1.0 oz Cascade at 15min, perhaps another 1.0 oz at 5 min?

Probably use WLP-001 California Ale.

With 70% efficiency on Beer Calculus, assuming a 5 gal boil, I get the following:

OG: 1.083
FG: 1.021
ABV: 8.3
IBU's: 109.4

What do you guys think?

Here's a link to a thread that discusses that recipe, including a breakdown of it from Stone.

Thanks! Had the wrong one - 15th vs. 11th

Going to read this thread.
