Commercial Description:
Old Chub is a Scottish style ale brewed with copious amounts of crystal and chocolate malts, and a dash of beechwood-smoked malts. While Dale's Pale Ale ("the best-tasting canned beer I've ever had," according to many brewers and beer experts) is a showcase of both hops and pale malts, Old Chub is a celebration of malts. The cola-colored beer features a dense, tawny head, a creamy mouthful and flavors of caramel, chocolate and lightly roasted malt. Complex and rich, it finishes with a whisper of smokiness that calls to mind a fine single malt scotch. Old Chub weighs in at 8 % alcohol by volume.

Can from Zinister. Thanks!
Pours a nice brown with an aroma of metallic nut and weak chocolate. Tastes of roasted malt with grassy peat and candy. Average mouthfeel. Not bad, but not excellent.

When they say "cola-colored" they weren’t kidding. Looks just like a cherry coke. Since I am a malt lover, I enjoyed this one, but would have liked something a little different; I just can’t put my finger on it. Very nice mouthfeel.

Can, into chalice. Pours dark brown, not quite opaque, with a very thin tan head and reddish-brown highlights around the edges. Nose is carmel, a bit of roast malt, full of dark sweetness with a toasted quality. Taste is sweet caramel and roasted malt, rich, with a faint hop dryness on the finish. Mouthfeel is very lightly carbonated, smooth and creamy without being overly heavy.

Incredibly tasty Scotch style ale. Flavors were complex and creamy with hints of chocolate and caramel.
