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.

Can poured a mahogany/cola color very little tan head sweet malty caramel taste and a roasted smokey malt in the aftertaste as well as a slight hint of hop and absolutely no taste of the 8% gets an extra point for being in a can

Thanks to SoLan. Wow, Ireally enjoyed this beer. Pour is very dark rich-looking brown. Aroma is roasted malt, caramel, vanilla, brown sugar. Flavor is very similar to nose, and is full-bodied and rich. Really great stuff.

Pours a deep amber. What little head did form disappeared immediately. Smells of rich caramelized malts and toffee. Tastes very sweet from the malts. It contains a hint of chocolate, caramel, brown sugar, and definitely cream. Finishes rather sweet and innocent.

can: pours a deep dark brown, but light does pass through. Smells roasted malt, molasses, and carmel. Flavor is mostly sweet only a tiny bit of bitterness. Light toasted malt flavor. Mouth was slighty thick. Overall... Very good, tasty, and very drinkable. Not nearly as good as Ale Smith’s. but way cheaper!

This beer was mentioned on a recent internet discussion, so I added it to my list of things to try. I was shocked to find it was a canned beer and thought someone was pulling my leg. They weren’t. This is one great beer. Poured it into a glass and the aroma was so incredibly inviting I couldn’t believe it. Clean, smooth and mellow, yet very full, warming and strong. UPDATED: After having several of these, they can definitely be a bit too sweet sometimes.

Pours a mahogany color with a tan head. Aroma is of smoked and toasted malts, and a little hint of alcohol. Sweet flavor with smoked and toasted malts, and dark fruits. Finishes a little bitter with a hint of of some alcohol warming.

Can. Pours a mahogany color with a quickly dissapating head. Aroma is smoky and of malts. Flavor matches the aroma. Good.
