Dark wheat/rye

I was looking back at this brew day post, and I noticed some thing missing. The recipe.

Still not sure what to call this. Or rather what percentage needs to be rye to call it a rye beer. But here…

3 gallon mini mash

1 can of wheat LME

1 lb pale 2 row

1/4 lb 20L

1/8 l. Choc malt

1 lb rye malt

1/2 oz Saaz 60

1/4 oz Saaz 15

1/4 oz Saaz 1

05 yeast

I bottled this batch about 2 weeks ago. Used 6 tablespoons of regular sugar. This appears to be just right for this style. Any of my normal British styles would too much.

So what I was trying to get from this beer was the spicier notes of the rye and Saaz and early tastings seems pretty close to what I want.
