| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | 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
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | 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 (700), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | 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.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 29, 2009 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. AskForJenny (641), Ontario, New York, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Jun 26, 2009 12oz can - Toffee colored liquid under thick beige head, almost creamy in appearance. Cherries, oranges & spice on nose. Watery mouthfeel, sweet malt, too sweet in fact, brief spot of hops. Little to remember this by. The ongoing search for a decent race track beer continues. unclemike (834), Ft. Riley, Kansas, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 21, 2009 Pours dark red with nice sized head. Aroma is loaded with caramel malt with a good deal of roastyness and some hop presence. Flavor is deliciously well balance- lots of molasses, caramel and come bitter roast. Palate is thick and creamy- an excellent beer overall.
