Cool, thanks for all the comments. It seems like the consensus is that there's too much roasted barley. I don't think my LHBS has debittered black, so if I took it down to 2 oz of roasted barley would that get me the color without too much roast flavor? Or should I sub it for another malt?
This is my first time doing a red rye IPA and I'd like some input on my recipe. Thanks for your help!

Okay, well the quad is all brewed up this weekend and is bubbling away in the fermenter. Had some parts of the brewday that went really well and some not so much, but hopefully won't adversely affect the beer too much.

Another question that has popped up: Should I do a protease rest? Many other recipes for quads/trappist ales that I've seen seem to have a protease rest due to the pilsner malt. Would it be beneficial to do one or would it just be extra work for not much gain? I do electric BIAB so raising...
Interesting point. Part of me really likes the idea of experimenting with such a simple grain bill to see what happens, but I definitely like really malty, full trappist ales.

Just thought of another question, how long does this have to condition in the bottle? I assume that I shouldn't wait too long or the hop aroma will fade right?
Did an all citra IPA a short while ago that turned out amazing, so now I'd like to do a big ol' Imperial IPA to dazzle my hophead friends.
Any suggestions on the recipe are greatly appreciated!
