i recently made a amber rye ipa that turned out really good . i used maris otter with with 13% rye 10% munich 4% each of caramel carapils and aromatic to hit 1.073 at 14L with 87ibu. With this beer i used only bitter hops to reach 87 ibus and no other boil additions . then i dry hopped for 7 days with 2 oz each of amarillo leaf / chinook leaf / centennial pellets for a total of 6oz. i used the same combination of hops for the 60 minute boil addition.
this has great malt flavor with a good balance of bitterness and hop flavor. it is a big bold one . i am going to brew it again on my next batch since i like it so much.

5 gallons
2 Row
1lb Carapils
1lb C10 or C15 or C20
Mash 154
1.066-1.070
1056 ferment at 68-70
2oz your favorite bittering hop @ 60
1.5-2oz Simcoe/Amarillo/Cent @ 15
2-3oz Amarillo, Centennial, Citra @ FO
4-8oz Dry Hop depending on how aromatic you want. Always after fermentation is done. Highest percentage of the hop you have that smells the best. Say 60% Citra, 20% Simcoe, 20% Amarillo
Mashing that high with that OG and not adding sugar will give you a bit more body. IBUs should be high enough for it to be bitter even with that high a FG.
Water should be at least 100ppm Ca with mostly gypsum. Adding some NaCl might boost the sweetness a touch too.
