It might work if you do it right...

I am pretty sure the yeast would die from the heavy amount of fermentables. If you are really serious about this recipe I would use White Labs WLP099 (High Gravity) yeast. Apparently this strain can take up to 25% alcohol. Also, I would start the fermentation with the grains and enough extract/honey/sugar to have a gravity of 1065. After it goes down to about 1015 about, add more fermentables to the batch. Or make the wort as predicted, but split it up into sanitized quarters and then space out the the sugar additions. You might find this article handy/interesting. Its about a challenge made by a homebrewer to make a beer that had over 20% alcohol by using only grain. His recipe might not be useful, but his procedure prolly will be. http://www.byo.com/feature/1556.html
