Nut Brown Ale; Where does the NUT come from

[brandonlovesbeer]

In a "Nut Brown Ale", Where does the NUT come from? Is it an adjunct?
Or is it just a combination of ingredients/

I want to brew one, but I don't know the ingredients.

The "nutty" flavor comes from the grain profile - there isnt any actual nuts used.

May you...
Work like you don't need the money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
Dance like no-one is watching,
Screw like it's being filmed,
And drink like a true Irishman.

The nuttiness comes from the darker kilned malts:

But there are also some beers out there that use nuts. Seen a couple using pecans before -- at least, I think they use them. Lazy Magnolia makes a Pecan Brown.

You mean you don't use squirrel terds?
