Grain (or extract) replacement for Mountmellick?

Does anyone know a good grain bill (or extract bill, or combination) I would use to roughly replace the Mountmellick Stout extract in a recipe? Here's a page about the Mountmellick I got; not a lot of detail though: http://www.ebrew.com/mountmellick/stout.htm
I don't need a scientific breakdown; just an approximate replacement if anyone's familiar with that extract.

The problem is that this extract is hopped, and has no IBU info anywhere on the can. I don't want to use a hopped extract because I'm trying to make a holiday spiced stout, and want about 15 IBU overall, and I don't think I can count on a hopped extract having that little (rather, I don't WANT to count on it). I have already tried this in one recipe, and the spice ratio is very good, but surprise surprise, it's too bitter.

Thanks!

I know the chart will come out wrong, but try this:

LBS OF
GRAIN LIQUID DRY
1.0 0.75 0.6
1.5 1.13 0.9
2.0 1.50 1.2
2.5 1.88 1.5
3.0 2.25 1.8
3.5 2.63 2.1
4.0 3.00 2.4
4.5 3.38 2.7
5.0 3.75 3.0
5.5 4.13 3.3
6.0 4.50 3.6
6.5 4.88 3.9
7.0 5.25 4.2
7.5 5.63 4.5
8.0 6.00 4.8
8.5 6.38 5.1
9.0 6.75 5.4
9.5 7.13 5.7
10.0 7.50 6.0

Cut and paste the chart into a word doc and reformat. It's easy to do. It's just 3 columns.

Sorry, guess I wasn't clear; I was talking more about the ratio of specialty grains to reach a similar malt profile as that extract. It's very dark, so I imagine some roasted malt, dark crystal, black patent, etc.

I've been trying for months to find the hops profile for mountmellick extracts...the info doesn't seem to be there. I'd go to beer recipator and build your own recipe. Start with 4 lbs of dark LME and add hops till you get to 15 IBU.

In my one experience with a mountmellick kit tho, the hopping may very well be that low.
