Looks good. I just finished my brown. It's AG but aside from that it's nearly identical. I reversed te quantities of the victory and chocolate though. More nutty and less roasty.

I was adding more chocolate to actually get a chocolate note, will this give it to me or could end up giving me an astringic bitterness?

Oh you'll be fine. Half pound is quite common for browns. I wanted mine to be about 15SRM and more nutty in flavor. It looks good.
