Oskar Blues Old Chub

Pours transparent brown and the head atop is tan. yes, tan. bubbly, lacey, and tan. Nose is malty in nutty ways with a stream of caramel running through it. Nose fumes show some notes of alcoholic toffee as well, like if a heath bar was your drunken uncle’s dirty clothes but instead of smelling bad, smelled good. A little musty too...like a basement. something like a basement, i say. Smokey too actually...like your fingers, 3 days after smoking a cigarette if you never washed your hands. Flavors were smooth and toffee like..like toffee flavored silk, if silk were edible...even if it wasn’t edible, it may taste the same...but I dont want to talk about eating inedible things, because that may cause a stomach ache. There’s nut flavors that come about as well...i can’t really label it as any specific nut per se, but of all the flavors in the world, Im sure it comes closer to the general idea of nutty than any other general ideas out there. Then again, i could be wrong..I am generally nutty as well. There’s also a meaty smokiness behind everything...like, your drunken uncles fingers...if you sucked on them...which you would never want to do, im sure...but why note, it tastes damn good...in beer form, anyway. The alcohol here...kind of like a ghost. I dont believe in ghosts but I certainly believe in alcohol, so...it may not be quite like a ghost afterall...but like a ghost in movies, because I do believe in movies, at least most of them. I like this beer. I drink it out of the can as nature intended.

Very clean and easy to drink. never would guess the 8% abv. bitterness very subdued, too sweet for my tastes. nice carbonation. again, very sweet in my opinion. had my girlfriend try it and she couldn’t believe it even had alcohol in it. extremely balanced, dangerously drinkable, technically very good, but not for me.

Not too bad for a beer called Old Chub! Has a nice dark brown, extremely smokey color. Smells of malts, caramel, and very light barley. Taste is mostly of malts with some caramel, chocalate and a little bit of coffee. Not too carbonated at all. An overall pleasant experience.

Can brought back from states by John from Great lakes. nice brown pour. decent tan head. nice nose is sweet with that reg scotch ale nose. flavor is smooth kinda smokey and peaty. good beer

Pours a beige head with a reddish brown body. Has a nice sweet and malty smell that foregrounds the stickiness of the beer. The taste itself is extremely malty. It goes down real thick and is kind of hard to drink after finishing a large meal. Caramel is definitely in there. Alcohol is very well covered up. Pretty dank.

pours a deep brown amber. nose is malty sweet, roast. flavor is sweet malts, toasted malts, some cocoa. Medium body.

12 oz can. Pours deep, deep amber with a small tan head that left substantial lacing. Aroma of smoky malts. Maybe the best beer I’ve ever had from a can.

Great scotts. Pours dark amber with thin white head. Nice caramel and malty nose. Good flavors of choc, caramel and smokey oak. Creamy mouthfeel that leaves you wanting more. Cant even taste the 8% in this brew.
