Widmer Brother's Spiced IPA Clone

[h0psnobery]

I've been looking for a good clone for awhile, but everyone that I've found seems to just be taking a shot in the dark at the style. I've yet to find one that uses the ingredients that Widmer stated that they used, so I decided to try making my own using Beer Calculus at Hopville.com. Widmer Brother's Spiced IPA is a West Coast style American IPA. Widmer has stated that they used these ingredients:

Malts: Pale, White Wheat, Caramel 40, and Carapils

Hops: Alchemy, Millenium, Falconer, Zeus, Galaxy and Teamaker

Additions: malty assam black tea, ginger, cinnamon, clove, star anise, black pepper, and cardamom

Profile:
Original Gravity: 16
Apparent Extract: 2.5
IBU: 70
Alcohol by Volume: 7%
Color: 10
Plato:16

Notes: Alchemy is a proprietary blend of hops mostly made of Warrior and Millennium so I just used those two.

I'm very new to Home-brewing so any feedback is appreciated. What do you think? What can I do to get closer to my target numbers? Am I so off that I should just start over?!
