If you use those malts in a steeping, you will end up with a porter.
I would highly recommend using:
TastyBrew.com | Recipe Calculation
That is my free - easy - and great online what-if tool to work though all these questions. Your the only one who knows what you really want. (Maybe a SHMBO if your lucky has a clue).
As an example, around 5 months ago I tasted a Smithwicks at a bar, and said to myself. I forgot how much I like this, I need to make some.
I looked at the clones and nothing fit what I wanted, so I wasted a few hours doing what-ifs, and making certain what I liked matched the style.
Just when it hit its prime, I went to a party with a standard Hefe, and the "experiment". The keg blew in two hours. (Small group).
