Thanks to a serendipitous cock-up by a near flawless member of our brew team some rogue dark malts & oats found their way into a brew of our esteemed Double Joker IPA. The lovely mahogany brown liquid which ran out of the mash was just crying out to be the "eureka" moment of a new (& yet to be adopted by anyone else) style of beer. A "Mid Atlantic Brown Ale" because the colour, strength and maltiness are classic of a Scotch Ale but the hops are all North America. Stick a pin in the map in between Scotland/Belgium and the USA.
