Hey guys!

Doing a new brew tomorrow. I know what I'm going for, but I don't know if it fits any style guidelines. I was hoping that somebody could provide some insight.

I'm planning on doing a high gravity (1.092) lager using only vienna malt. While this could put me in the high end of Doppelbock, I'm looking to get some noble hop character out of this one, and plan to mash lower than I normally do for a Doppelbock.

Ultimately, I'm looking for a lightly malty beer or a hop/malt balanced beer, around 40-45 IBUs.

Ultimately, I'm looking to make this beer for me. I'm trying to pull two things I love together. Intense vienna malt and intense noble hop character. I have NO idea if this fits anywhere regarding styles, but I figured I would ask around before coming up with a name in relation to other styles (Like "Hoppy Doppelbock" or "Imperial Vienna Lager")

Thank you for any insight.
