Bear Republic Big Bear Black stout

I'm trying to clone Bear Republic Big Bear Black stout. I emailed the brewery and asked for some clues and they told me that the malts used are American Pale and Crystal malts, roasted barley, black malt, molasses and brown sugar and the hops are centennial and cascade.

Putting that together with some clone recipes I found here:

It seems their mash procedure and yeast are the same for both Racer 5 and Hop Rod Rye, so I figured I'd use those, and so here is my first attempt at a recipe:


I would appreciate any feedback
