Yeti Imperial Stout, recipe?

I've never had this bier and just haven't run across it in travel/hbc meetings. I think I have my answer to the question of how "hoppie" is Yeti? The response is yes there is a hop presence but not too forward. I asked because with 4 oz. of Chinook, a very flavorful hop, they're going to be hard to miss! For confirmation I'll post the brew365.com recipe and ask, does this look too hop forward? Here's the recipe... what do y'all think?

Oh yea, this bier has a lot of roasted malts, 2 pounds & 2 ounces, but no crystal/caramel malts. In itself not odd for a stout. I've never brewed a bier this big before.... so I have a few questions!!! Should I adjust this recipe by adding crystal, lowering the mash temp, adding simple sugars to help dry it out, any suggested adjustments in ingredients or process? I await your input!!!!!!!

The 4 oz of Chinook does seem to be a bit out of place, it has a very distinct flavor profile,but I think it will stand up well to all of the darkly roasted grains.

I've had the Yeti a couple of times, and i experience it as quite hoppy tasting. So i would not besurprised to find 4oz of chinook in it. Generally in my experience Great Divide are quite generous with their hops.

Thank you for the responses. Anyone brewed this clone? Or attempted to clone Yeti?

What the heck I think I'm gonna put this in line to brew!!!

Schlante,
Phillip
