Depends on what you are going for. Personally I'd up the Flaked barley to a pound or two - maybe back off on the 2 row to balance that out. I would also up the RB but that is just me. I like my big stouts roasty and full mouth feel.

I plan to make a heavier stout this one is to replace a stout I have finished off. It was a stout a medium stout and I love it. I got it in a kit from Midwest. It was extract so I want to do one AG. Perhaps I'll make your tweaks on the Alpha Company Stout which I plan to make a lot heavier.....more an imperial stout. thanks for the suggestions.

Very hard to say without knowing at least the OG and IBUs.

I'd have to pull those out of the recipe calculator but I meat the higher side of the style on all.

My questions is more the hops since they are not the norm, but I have bulk of like 6 types of hops, I want to start using them and this will be my second attempt.

Thinking I might get another reciepe together or re-do something like my 420 clone.

Still in primary.........so I'll let you know. I'm bottling my Scottish Ale hopefully Monday. I would do it today but I broke my bottle bucket cut off yesterday. I'll then be pushing my stout to the secondary.....She smells good I plan getting doing a hydro sample today so I'll let you know on taste.
