Suggest a wet brown ink for me

Looking for a wet free-flowing brown ink towards the golden side, but it cannot be pale, for an extra-fine Pearlette in Aztec Flake.

Monteverde Joy Sepia would look lovely, or Diamine Desert Burst, but I think my first choice would be Akkerman SBRE Brown, which would IMO be an almost perfect colour match and behaves beautifully, and, of course, comes in the fab Akkerman bottle!

I’ll put in another vote for SBRE Brown, and to that, if you want wettish, I would add an Iroshizuku: Yama-guri (quite dark), Tsukushi (medium brown), or Ina-ho (golden brown, leaning to green, also maybe not dark enough, but might look good coming out of that pen).

Another vote here for Yama-guri (Tsukushi being a little red leaning for my taste, whereas Yama-guri is more sepia-tone).

Boy that Akkerman stuff is $$$$. Pretty though.

To be honest, I think I will try Diamine Ancient Copper next. Perfect match for color, one of my favorite inks, though I don't think it is all that wet. More middle of the road in wetness.

+1 for Monteverde Joy Sepia. 
 

Also Diamine Ochre. Not too orange, red, grey—or expensive. It may be slightly better behaved in an EF than would be Joy. 
 

Edited to add:

Taccia Golden Wheat is also a good option. I have all of these + Yama Guri + some others. If you’d like samples, @sombrueil, PM me; maybe we can do a swap.

What a beautiful pen! When anyone says wet brown, Yama-guri immediately comes to mind but it's definitely *not* a golden brown. Noodler's Golden Browns looks like it'd be a good match with the pen going by review photos but I haven't used it myself.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

I have Taccia Golden Wheat in it right now. Beautiful ink, lovely match, but in a dry extra fine nib it is a bit light. I haven't used such a fine nib in so many years I am a little at sea as to how to write with it. Maybe I have to learn to write smaller!
