Any comments or suggestions for my latest fruit of just playing around in BeerSmith? Well, actually, I started just playing around and then I realized I had a brown ale going so I tweaked it to be in spec.

I always add brown sugar to my Newcastle knock-off. It adds a bit of residual sweetness. good luck!
 
Yeah, that much brown malt may be too porter like roasty. Id use half and make up the color with some 60L-80L crystal or something.
