I love drinking Brown Ales whenever I see one on a tap list. So that made me wonder why I didn't have a recipe for a nice Brown Ale. I'm aiming for a recipe in the 10C American Brown Ale style. I'm picturing something Chocolatey, slightly roasty, malty, some caramel sweetness, and with some bitterness, but not hoppy.
So far this is what I have:

Batch Size: 5.5 gallons

5# Mild Malt (5.3 SRM)
1# British Crystal 70/80L

1oz Northern Brewer Hops 7% @60 min (22.4IBU)
1oz Cascade Hops 6.6% @10 min (7.7IBU)

Any suggestions on improving the recipe?
Thank you, in advance.
