The base recipe without the hops and spices looks like a pretty interesting Roggenbier recipe.

You had me until you started adding spices (way too much at that). What is your goal? Are you making a spiced Winter Warmer? Are you making a Dark Rye IPA?

Opened one yesterday and was pretty well balanced. The spices were not over powering. I was going with a winter style IPA but I haven't really given a definite classification.
