| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Mar 10, 2009 Poured a hazy, red copper color with a thin head, and light lacing on the glass. Aroma of vanilla, bourbon, peat, oak, caramel malts, nuts, and alcohol. Taste of caramel malts, nuts, wood, roast, toffee, light smoke, vanilla, bourbon, and a dry, alcohol finish. Fantastic at room temperature! DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 12, 2009 I love Old Chub. It is a go to beer for me any season of the year. This one pours dark brown toward black with off-tan head. Nose is dark malt, plum, blackberry, cacao, scotch malt, figgy fruit, oaky bourbon. Tastes malty up front, a hefty scotchy malt coupled with cacao, molasses, and nuts. The id-palate throws some oaky bourbon, mild hops, and vanilla figgy fruit, with a smooth, complex finish. This one got smoother as it warmed, and the fruity earthy oaky notes emerged even stronger. Most beers fade as they warm. This one improved. Outstanding. scraff (1946), Baltimore, Maryland, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 20, 2006 Tap at the Hop Devil Grill - Deep brown, tan creamy head. Rich and complex nose of vanilla, toasted marshmallow, and butterscotch, with light smokey wood and booze tones. Flavor is one in the same. Nothing more to add. Full bodied, soft carbonation, smooth, rich malty finish. Just a bit better then the original in my book. Well done... EricE (464), Fairfax, Virginia, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | May 13, 2008 Draft at Max’s. Black pour with a thick white head. Beautiful looking. Lots of chocolate with bourbon notes. Tastes similar to old chub. Creamy chocolate milk flavor with bitter malts to finish. But then theres the bourbon. On top of all the delicious chubbiness theres a subtle bourbon flavor. A bit more alcohol on the finish, but overall a great beer made even better. t4h2c0 (81), seattle, Washington, USA

After the GABF went to the Falling Rock Tap House and had this wonderful nectar poured there. It was thick poured in a snifter and this was a great whiskey ale and it had such wonderful flavors and a strong vanilla flavor. I loved it.
