Recipe advice: Belgian-American IPA?

[motorneuron]

Hey all--

I like Flying Dog's Raging ***** a lot, and in general, I like both Belgian beers and American IPAs. I have some ingredients here I'd like to use, rather than go out and buy new hops/yeast/grain, but I'm wondering what you guys think of a recipe along these lines. In particular, do you think that this set of somewhat dank American hops will work with the Belgian yeast? I think a lot of recipes for Belgian IPAs go with a fruitier or more citrus profile, but I don't have anything like that on hand.

5.5 gallon batch:

OG 1.065
FG ~1.015, ABV ~6.6%
IBU 96
SRM ~10

GRAINS
12 lbs American 2-row
.25 lbs biscuit
.25 lbs American 40L caramel
.50 lbs Special B

Mash at 154F for 90 minutes, sparge.

HOPS
60 minute boil, all hops in pellets:
@ 20 mins: 1 oz each of
Columbus (27 IBU)
Chinook (23 IBU)
Summit (32 IBU)
Willamette (8 IBU)
@ flameout: 1 oz each of the same

Ferment with WLP500 (Chimay strain, same as 1214). Start in the mid-60s, but permit to free rise.

I have the recipe for raging *****. Got it straight from the brewery. I'm not at home right now but send me a pm and I'll send you the recipe when I get home. It's a dead ringer for raging *****!
