Brand New Spawn

My friend Allan and his wife just had a new son, who they named Paul. In trying to come up with ideas for a beer to brew for this new son, I turned to the Apostle Paul, which led to this recipe, that I'm calling Paul's Road to Damascus.

8 lbs Pilsner
1 lbs Munich
1 lbs Date syrup
1 lbs Orange Blossom Honey
8 oz Aromatic
8 oz Caramunich
8 oz Special B

Estimated OG around 1.070, although I'm not really sure how much contribution date syrup will give me until I buy a bottle and look at it. A half ounce of 18.5% AA Summit will put me at about 19 IBUs. Also thinking to put some damascene spices lightly in the end, and fermenting with WLP550.
