I've done a few nut browns but nothing really jumps out at me so I'm thinking of developing my own using whats typically out there for them and tweaking it to make my own. Based loosely on the British Brown with a bit more late hop addition for the hop forward taste but being still within the parameters of the British Brown. Hopefully going to brew this up on the weekend but wanted to throw it out to all you more experienced guys and gals first.

What do you think?

Thomas Fawcett brown malt was recommended to me, I really like the flavor it added.

Not sure who makes the brown malt I have. Bought it last year for a recipe and forgot which it was for, didn't end up making whatever I bought it for so thought I'd try it out in this.
