RIS would be fun, but it's really not that much harder to rinse ("wash") the yeast with cooled boiled-water, separate the yeast from the trub, and then you can pitch into just about any batch except for the lightest of ales.

Oh yeah, +1 RIS

I would wash it and use it on whatever - unless you really want a RIS.

Actually most any Stout or Porter would work. Oatmeal, Dry Irish or RIS. Brown or Robust Porter. Have a blow-off tube ready!
