Essentially, I have some hops and yeast (lager and wine) that have been in the freezer for over a year. The hops are vacuum packed; the yeast is dry and expired by only a few months. I'm down for making something different / unique / experimental. Just not sure what. Thoughts?

7oz Northern Brewer (10.2% AA)
1oz Sterling (7.0% AA)
0.5oz German Tradition (6.9% AA)
0.5oz Cluster (7.0 AA)
1 packet Fermentis Saflager S-23
2 packets Montrachet (wine)
1 packet Lalvin D47 (wine/mead)

I have a freezer with Inkbird cool/warm control, so I can lager or brew warm.
 
Well those hops scream a continental Europe style, a lager yeast suggests...a member of the lager family, wine yeasts in beer are helpful if you're going strong.

Combined, they suggest a Baltic porter or bock - or maybe an imperial California Common?

Maybe with some fruit in it since it's harvest time?

Maybe even a graff or something?
