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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Pours dark brown with a brown head. It has a tart, roasty aroma with a little lactose. The flavor is tart accompanied by raisins, dates, and fig. Strong alcohol presence and a peaty finish. Pretty good Scottish ale.
