Turtles are one of my favorite candies and I've been toying around for some time with doing a Turtle Brown Ale. I'm brewing this up tomorrow, so just looking for some last-minute feedback. Please, if you're just going to tell me that you wouldn't drink a Turtle beer or that you don't like dessert beers, keep your comments to yourself.

7lb (66.67%) Rahr 2-row
1lb (9.52%) Munich
.75lb (7.14%) Caramel 60L
.75lb (7.14%) Caramel 80L
.5lb (4.76%) Pale Chocolate Malt
.5lb (4.76%) Chocolate Malt
1 cup pecans, toasted and chopped (per Mosher's book)
Hops:
2oz (31 IBU) Fuggles @ 60 min (might change this to Cascade or something American, not sure)

I'm not looking to make an over-the-top uber-sweet beer, but something with moderate caramel, chocolate, and pecan presence. Thoughts?
