Stout or barley wine

I've got 15 pounds of raisins and a pound or two of dates sitting around. I'm trying to come up with anything at all to use them in. I was thinking of doing something like a subtle fruitcake type beer. Thick, wheaty, and with fruit aftertastes in it. I've looked through the AHS recipes and can't really find anything. Also don't really feel like the trial and error thing of killing a batch to see if it tastes good. Can anybody point me in the direction of a good recipe for this type of thing?
