I don't know if Golding dry hops are appropriate but they're spicy finish seems like it should be OK. Besides they're sooo good I can't resist. I'm I just hopelessly lame?

Ingredients:

1 pound, Biscuit malt
1/2 pound, Belgian Crystal (what is this 50L)
1/2 pound, Special B (120L ?)
1/2 pound, Roasted Chocolate
6 pounds, Northwestern amber extract
35 IBUs, hops (Tettnanger/Kent Golding plugs)
Wyeast Belgian ale

Procedure:

Mash grains for 45 minutes or so, then sparge. Add extract and boil. Add hops in at least 3 stages. Chill and pitch.
