I think it would make a fine Old Ale. A Strong Scotch Ale/Wee Heavy is similar and also a good idea. The Old Ale I brewed up recently at the Schlafly Taproom goes a little something like this: 45% Munich Light 45% Pale 2 Row 5% Special B 5% Flaked Wheat 1.5lbs Dark Brown Sugar per 10 gallon batch TOG: 1.076 40 IBUs Neutral Bittering hop English hops for flavor and Aroma (Not much of either) It finished right around 8% ABV

That looks tasty!!! Might have to get this brewed up...

Does the brown sugar just dry it out or does it contribute a distinct flavor as well? When do you add the brown sugar in?

Also - how do I figure out how many gravity points the brown sugar adds?
