BroSpud (584), , Massachusetts, USA Jul 2, 2009 12oz can. Pretty good scottish ale. Pours dark. Tastes smoky and malty. Found the alcohol presence more pronounced than an 8% should be but overall pretty good. Cruzan59 (197), Lititz, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 1, 2009 Another great offering from Oskar...too bad I bought this case in the summer, more of an winter beer for me...it’ll just have to age a bit...deep brown pour, beige head...nice smell of malt and a bit of cocoa...roasty flavor of caramel, chocolate and some alcohol on the back end...makes you all warm and fuzzy inside...yum! guyinchicago (516), marengo, Illinois, USA Jul 1, 2009 can thanks to beerman 6866 poured very dark for a scotch ale the only brew close to this is Robert the Bruce from 3 floyds but that is a scottish ale aromas of caramel,chocolates, smoked peat and malts flavor is of all of the above with a sweet creamy finish agreat brew no matter what it is lordsummerisle (17), New York, USA Jul 1, 2009 This is my "go-to" Scotch Ale for good reason. Easy to find, not overwhelmingly expensive, and quite tasty. Toffee aroma gives way to chocolate, brown sugar, and kind of a milky flavor. Malt is sweet and like other beers I’ve had from Oskar Blues, maybe just a little too overpowering. This one is definitely in regular rotation for me. punkeedo (465), San Antonio, Texas, USA Jun 30, 2009 2009 Can. Oskar Blues has done it again! Aroma of acai berries and chocolate. Appears dark, dark brown with a beautiful cream-brown head. Tastes of chocolate with hints of tawny port? Finishes a bit watery, but leaves a pleasant aftertaste clinging to your tongue. This is a wonderful brew. arrogantb (695), Denver, Colorado, USA Jun 30, 2009 Old Chub is the one Oskar Blues beer I have neglected for the last few years (even though I liked it) but no more! Nice dark brown-black color, malty smell with a smoky thick taste, wow! I really like the flavor of this beer, which is no surprise. I was a little sad Dale’s Pale Ale changed but Gordon and Old Chub are pretty awesome.

The flavor is tart accompanied by raisins, dates, and fig. Strong alcohol presence and a peaty finish. Pretty good Scottish ale.
