Strong copper ale with rich, decadent maltiness. Burnt caramel, toffee candy, and dried fruit forward, this is one of our favorite wintertime styles.
Scotch ales are one of the most decadent malt showcases you’ll find in a beer. Ours is crafted with English Golden Promise malt for a traditional biscuity malt backbone, with additions of toasty High Color Pale and Munich II for deeper base malt complexity. The aroma and flavor of this beer are bursting with burnt caramel, sugary toffee candy, and dried fruits like dates and raisins. The rich maltiness is balanced by alcohol warmth more than hop bitterness, though we do use traditional English hops for a touch of balancing bitterness as well.
Pairs well with Chicken and Waffles, Scotch Eggs, Caramel Popcorn, Chicken Wings, & Jasper Hill Withersbrook Blue (in fact, Jasper Hill produced a cloth wrapped version of this cheese using Stormin’ the Castle!)

Black Flannel is on top of the Vermont craft brewing scene... Their depth of knowledge, skill, and ability to innovate and improvise on core styles, is unparalleled in the northeast... (they are) possibly one of the best craft breweries, in these United States.
