So, a Bretty Stout, then?
I dunno. Doesn't sound very appealing to me. I love huge stouts that taste like stouts...
Cheers!

Using brett in a stout isn't entirely unheard of...

Any chance you can get a couple packs of US-05? I am with day_trippr, I wouldn't like the wlp607.
Still torn, but I don't think I'll use the 670. I have the two packs of t-58 which I haven't used before so maybe I'll just use that. I do have one pack of us-05 as well. OG is 1.069 so I should use two packs i guess so maybe one t-58 and one us-05. lol. Hmmmmmm, maybe I'll just let it spontaneously ferment. I seem to have some good yeast in the air around here as evidenced by a brown ale I did that with......

1.069? Not really high enough to need two packets, but you can. I'm currently brewing a stout with US05 with an OG of 1.116 and would have used two packs if I didn't already have yeast slurry from a 1.061 batch using one packet.
With regards to using T58, Belgian yeasts do make nice stouts though.

personally, I'd go with the 670 before the T-58. I think its spicy/peppery profile wouldnt mesh that well. i'd probably go with the pack of S-05, but the 670 does sound appealing (I love brett tho). i vote split batch
