This is based on Charlie Papazian's recipe for a good "nut brown ale". I was very satisfied with the results. I assume you're an extract brewer.

Ingredients:

Crystal 60 1.5 pounds
Chocolate 2.5 ounces
Roasted Barley 2.5 ounces
DME light 5.5 pounds
Styrian Goldings 1.0 ounces 60 min 5.5 % AA plug
Styrian Goldings 1.0 ounces 15 min 5.5 % AA plug
Cascade 0.3 ounces 3 min 5.7 % AA leaf
BrewTek British Draft Ale yeast
1 cup corn sugar, priming

Procedure:

Made a yeast starter: 500.0 ml , starter: 10 mL SuperStarter; 500 mL SuperWort; Pitched at high krausen.

If you insist on using dry yeast, try Nottingham English Ale. In liquid yeast, use Wyeast Y-1968 London ESB. I prefer making mine from slants (either my own or BrewTek's); saves a lot of money in the long run, and boasts greater variety. If you can't find Styrian Goldings in the form you want (German plug hops are expensive) try East Kent Goldings pellets (especially in the second addition).

Specifics:

OG: 1056 (13.7 P)
FG: 1016 (4.2 P)
Alcohol: 4.1% (abw), 5.2% (abv)
