Sounds fine, although you've gone overboard on the yeast - one of the packets should have been fine. having said that, I can't see it doing any damage.

I generally store my kit yeasts that I don't use in the fridge. I've had good success on simpler brews even with 2 year old yeast this way, although as a rule of thumb fresher is always better.

The brew sounds good, let us know how it turns out - boingk

Lyle's Black treacle is better for english style beers than mollasses imho, and most supermarkets stock it. That said recipe probably should be fine without.
