Should be a good beer as long as your process is tight. Hops are all along a similar vein. Yeast looks good. I am not familiar with the grain brand so can't comment on that! Is anything worrying you?

Yes, Im not sure about the Vienna Malt, Im not sure if it will be to malty and "out fo style"

Malta Tostada Nacioanl is Toasted Malt that gives roasty notes and Tostada Coffee is the same but lighter toast that gives coffee notes.

Got it! If you are brewing for a competition, then look up the style guidelines. Otherwise just tone it to your preference. Have you tried looking at other recipes? I often do that as a starting point, then read some books and build my recipe. I don't like copying others directly and often add characteristic malts that I would enjoy more. I also care less about style guidelines...

If you are afraid of the maltiness, perhaps do a fraction Vienna and the remainder something like 2-row. Make a note of it for later comparison. I ought to ask if having that much roasted and coffee malt is really what you want. Couldn't those be imperial stout levels?
