I took the readily accepted recipe for Arrogant Bastard (one of my favorite brews) and modfied it for my tastes, and ingredients on hand. It's happily fermenting away, and I will report back. On a side note, I find that the IBU added from first wort hopping is vastly overrated so my 100 IBU, IMO is not true. In my experience FWH yields a soft, subtle hop flavor that is hard to duplicate:
