Last year, I took this recipe for a Westy 12 clone, (
http://www.candisyrup.com/uploads/6/0/3/5/6035776/westvleteren_12_clone_-_040.pdf) gave it a couple tweaks, brewed, and it turned out a wonderful beer, very drinkable due to high attenuation with a wonderful, rich dark fruit character. I've been debating brewing it again for competition, but the guidelines for 26D - BDSA show the style tops out at 22 SRM. Both software and my visual impression show the beer I made (and the recipe above) come in around 30-33SRM, pretty far outside the range given in the guidelines.
Outside of the darker color, the beer's profile seems to closely match what the BJCP states a good BDSA should be.
So the question becomes, based on the variables noted above, is a Quadruple style beer, similar to what would be produced by the recipe above, out of style for 26D?
EDIT: Fixed post to say 26D, not 26A as I had originally posted.
