Anyone tried something like this? I want to make a holiday beer with the usual spicing (ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice). I'm planning on a barleywine, but I also tend to like hoppier beers so I wound up with a recipe with about 70 IBUs.

Is this too much of a style clash? Would I be better off backing the hopping down so it's closer to a more traditional spiced beer?
