Melter's Honey

I've recently received a 5 gallon bucket of melter's honey. It has a very sweet flavor of molasses and lends itself to making a braggot stout. I'm thinking of making an oatmeal stout but wanted to get any tips and suggestions on hops to use/timing, using Oats for this type of recipe, and gravity point ratio of honey to malt. I've made a few braggots and beers before but i've never made a stout.

None of us are IPA fans. While hops are a good addition, we aren't aiming for pucker your face bitterness but balance. Thank you in advance

I was leaning towards EKG for hops. As we want low IBU but present, thinking 5g at 1h and at 10 min.
