I just finished a black IPA and used 8 oz de-bittered black and and 4oz C80. Color was what is should be, nice and dark.

Og was 1.066, FG 1.016. So very close to your numbers. IBU were about 65.

First taste was yesterday and it was a little young, only a week and a half in the bottle. but the flavor was good. I just had to try it because I was very curious how it came out.

Just enough of a roasty taste with a nice hoppy finish. I think that when they get the full 3 weeks in the bottle it should be very good.
