I have an Amnerican brown recipe that I really like that's won some awards, but I dunno about the "nut" part.

Not a problem, I would really appreciate your recipe if you do not mind publishing it.

Cheers!

There are several in the wiki, a couple of them Denny's: http://wiki.homebrewersassociation.org/10CAmericanBrownAle

An American Brown and an English Brown are pretty distinct, though. It's probably best to sit down with a pint of Cabin Fever and a copy of the style guidelines and figure out which is closer to what you want.

I looked on New hollands Website. 

They say burnt carmel dark fruit and raisin flavors...Special B, English Dark Crystal, or C120 are likely here.
They say rye..so maybe a couple pounds of rye.
It has more of a malty sweet flavor so Id lean toward Maris Otter for the base.
English Chocolate is an obvious choice for the chocolate notes and color.
Roast---Victory perhaps?

Its atleast a start! Id try something like this(and I apologize I dont have a calculator in front of me for gravity and such.

6% alch

Shoot for an OG around 1.065 or so

Maris Otter 10-12 lbs
Rye Malt- 2 lbs or so
Victory Malt- 2 lbs or so
Chocolate Malt-3/4 lbs
English Dark Crystal- 1/2 lbs.

Maybe London ESB or West Yorkshire yeast. I dont remember the hop character much and havent had the beer in a while to even take a stab at it.
