What is the point of asking for recipe critique after the beer is already brewed? You'll soon see what it's like and what changes you would make.

Because feedback can help me understand things to change/improve if I'm not crazy about the result. Plus I'm really anxious to try it and it's fun to see what other experienced brewers might think.
 
Hops look good. Lots of hops.

I like the addition of sugar. It will help lower the FG.

How did you come up with an OG of 1.067. I would expect it to be closer to 1.060.

It actually was 1.06, just reread my notes.
