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.

Hazy brown with orange tints and a thin beige head that quickly fades. Aromas of thick malt, slightly sour, wood and caramel. Rich malt coats the tongue, barely balanced by a mild earthy hop. Finishes with toffee, hickory smoke and alcohol. Light carbonation and a coating malt body.

Rerate: On tap at the Tasty Weasel in Longmont on 7/16/09. Pours a nice dark copper-brown. Incredible caramel aroma that carries into a nice malty sweet flavor. Touch of bitterness on the tongue, then a wonderful sweet caramel finish. Very smooth drinkable brew.

12 oz can Nose is almost savory; doesn’t really hint at the taste to come. This is fantastic - sweet, malty goodness with flavors of cola, caramel, and much more. Remarkably smooth, and the alcohol is extremely well disguised. Really enjoyed this.

12 oz Can (of course) Pours a deep mahogany, with a thin tan head. Very light aroma, but full of malts. The flavor is where this beer packs its punch. Smooth creamy malts, hint of chocolate, and some roasted malts and just a hint of smoke. The alcohol is very well hidden. The best version of a scotch ale I have ever tried

Pours a dark brown with amber hue and a thin tan head. Aroma of roasted malts, slight smoke, and alcohol. Flavor matches well, but isn’t quite as smooth as I would hope for. Overall, pretty good, but nothing special.

not a big fan of scotch ales, but this one i really liked. lots of malts with some smokeyness thrown in. very heavy beer but i suppose most scotch ales are like that. its a cheap beer and thats definitely a plus and unexpected for a beer so high in alcohol!

First impression: This looks like crap (from the outside). Second impression: "Holy crap this is good," from the inside. This beer shuns fancy marketing and labels and delivers on quality. Smooth, thick, goodness all around. Quality brewing indeed.
