I have not made an IPA that dark yet, max color on the style chart. Not bad in any way though,Maybe i will try going dark sometime(jk). Hey , it looks real tasty to me.I find no faults with it.

I've never bittered with amarillo before, so I can't speak to that. I would imagine a heavy dose of dryhops would be in order also, but other than that, I like the looks of it! I like the marris otter base. A little too expensive for my check book but that and the Munich should be really nice backdrop for all the hops.Cheers!Chris

Chad, I like your recipe. I think it looks good, nice amount of crystal and a great addition of Munich too. I have brewed a few IPA's of the american variety with Marris and they have come out great. I like your hop schedule too. I too have never bittered with Amarillo but it is my fav flavor/aroma hop as well. I think at 58 and your use of the hops as you show you might get a smoother bittering. I say give it a go as you show it. I am just finishing up a fermentation with 1272 on an Amber and I know its a great yeast as well. Hope it turns out well.

Thanks for the tips boys! That's why I come to this board....for more sets of eyes on what I'm doing. I've tinkered with the recipe a bit based on a couple of the suggestions and what I've got available. I think it's a little better.
