I know this is an old post but are you still looking for a recipe? I have an all grain recipe for this if you are interested.

Maris Otter 9.5 Lb 81%

Chocolate Malt (UK) 450 SRM 3 Oz 2%
Dark Brown Sugar 1 Lb 9%

Hops

Warrior 15.9% Alpha 9 grams for 14.9 IBU 60 Min
Fuggles 4.4% Alpha 30 grams for 5.0 IBU 10 Min
Kent Goldings 4.5% Alpha 32 grams for 5.4 IBU 10 Min

Yeast

I've used several different yeast for this. If I am in the mood to do a starter 005 does a good job. If I'm being lazy, Nottingham.

Hook Norton's Web site calls for Fuggles, Goldings, and Challenger. I assumed Challenger would be the bittering hop and substituted Warrior as the Alpha is higher and I would get away with using less hops.

For the grain the site list Pale, Crystal, Chocolate, and Enzymic. When I did a tour there I asked about Enzymic malt, brewer stated as a Homebrewer you wouldn't need to use it as they use it to help increase their efficiency.

Looking at my notes from the last time I brewed this, It states I needed to increase the chocolate malt. As the original had a slight dark chocolate taste.

Almost forgot Brown sugar is added with 10 Min left in boil.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

That looks great, thanks. Did you bottle condition or keg?

 

[keggert]

I keg mine now, but when I first tried this recipe I was still bottling
