Sounds about perfect for the following Irish Red Ale that my buddy made.

http://www.geocities.com/barleypopmaker/paddyorecipe.html

Even better than that would be a Russian Imperial Stout. This would use up
all of your stuff except for one pack of yeast and a few ounces of black
patent. Use all of your malts in a 5-gallon batch EXCEPT only use about 6
oz of the black patent. Use all the Cascades in a 60-minute boil, add 1 oz
Willamette at 15 minutes remaining, and steep the other 1 oz Willamette at
flameout. Either yeast would work for this, but it is worth consideration
that the Windsor will end up with a very thick, chewy, complex beer, while
the Muntons will end up a bit more clean with more "normal" body. Be sure
to ferment warm, at 65-70 F. This beer may take a little extra time to
ferment. Yeast nutrient would be a good idea. The beer should age very
well. You'll probably end up with about 8.5% ABV, 50 IBU, plus or minus.

Irish red ale is good, but man oh man, just the thought of that Imperial
stout makes me shiver. That's what I'd make. And I'd go all out and use
the Windsor, just to see what kind of complex thick stuff results. However
the Muntons should work great as well, and might be a safer bet.

Good luck!

Use it all. Call it Clarence.

Yep - Thanks to all. Made a stout bottled it last Sat. Had one 4 days
later. Insipied / thin little beer so far. Maybe more aging in the bottles
will help - assuming I don't drink it all first. I'll drink anything.
I did a mini mash from MoreBeer on Sun. - the oatmeal stout. Let's see how
that turns out.
