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.

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.

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.

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.
