Friend of mine and I were brewing the other night and we, after relaxing not worrying and having homebrews, made the recipe that is in the screenshot below.

We tasted wort after chilling and it tasted pretty decent, but having some anxiety over the amount of bitterness being unbalanced as compared to the malt. I mashed at 145 for 15 min.s before draining and raising mash temp to 154 for an additional 75 mins.
I ended up pitching a starter of 3655 Belgian Schelde yeast. Is this beer going to be "hopsided" or balanced? I love what honey malt does for the beers I've been knocking out.
 
Wanted to showcase hops (friend is a hop head) but defiantly wanted a malt backbone to hold up the hops.....
