This recipe is based off of a Rye IPA that I made based upon a few of the more popular Rye IPA recipes floating around here in the forums. I want to brew something imperial strength, hoppy, but different. Any suggestions for the malt bill or the hop schedule? Or even the yeast? Any suggestions or input would be greatly appreciated. I would like to brew this monster soon so I can have it for Christmas and New Year's. I can purchase any different grain or yeast, but want to keep what I have in house for the hops. In addition to the hops listed in the recipe I have EKG, Willamette, Czech Saaz, and N. Brewer (US).

Note: The different aroma hops steeping for 10 and then 5 minutes are just my way of writing a hop stand into the recipe. I add the hops labeled 10 min at flameout, add the 5 min steep after cooling to 175 degrees and then let sit for 20 minutes or so before chilling to pitching temp.
