Whats the best category to enter an american stout that was fermented with lager yeast?

SG 1067
SRM 48
75 IBUs
 
Given that unusual situation, and the really high IBUs for a stout, I don't think its going to be judged very highly in any of the stout categories.
 
it won't do well in scwarzbier or baltic porter either... you'd have to do specialty category with a nice description about what makes your beer so special. it'll still probably be too normal to stand out, i wouldn't count on winning anything, just some good judge feedback.
 
yeah i want to enter it into sam adams longshot, they havent announced it yet but they usually have the entry period during May
