Apr 12, 2009 I enjoyed Oskar Blues Old Chub Scottish Ale from a hand pump at D.B.A. in New York. This is a very creamy and smoky ale with tons of roasted malts. The color is a deep brown / almost black with a light mocha head. The aroma is sweet with tons of roasted malts. The finish is very smooth and makes me want to continue drinking all night. This is a fantastic ale!

Apr 9, 2009 Weird that this is in 12’s and not 4’s like the Gordon. Poured redish with a tan head. Aroma of candy and molasses. Caramel and molasses all over this. Too sweet.

Apr 8, 2009 Updated: Apr 9, 2009Can... Poured ruby-brown with a a thin beige head that lasted throughout the brew. Sweet, malty aroma with berry-like fruits and spiced dark chocolates. Strong cocoa malts in the flavors with a chocolate character that balanced with the alcohol notes. Chalky, smoked finish with roasted brown sugars. I bet the barrel aged version is awesome.

Apr 6, 2009 This dark brown ale poured from can to thistle with a decent beige head and a smoky caramel aroma. This is a good example of a scotch ale, with plenty of peat and roasted malt flavor and some chocolate notes.

Apr 3, 2009 Poured dark brown, with a light tan head there were hints of red in the color. The aroma was highly malty, sweet, with chocolatey notes. The flavor was sweet and malty but not cloying, slightly warming from alcohol, there were some chocolatey notes, and some slight hop notes. The finish is sweet with a hint of graininess. Very drinkable and complex...don’t let the can fool you.

Apr 2, 2009 Can from Kingman, AZ. Much more flavourful and complex than expected. Pours a clear bronze colour with a thin tan head. Pleasant aroma of caramel and roasted malt. Great flavour including some smoke, chocolate and more caramel. Very nice.

Apr 2, 2009 [Can] Pours dark reddish brown with a small tan head. Aroma is sweet with honey, caramel and malt. Taste is also quite sweet, with chocolate, roasted malt, notes of smoke, fruit (faint cherry), and alcohol. Very smooth with average mouthfeel and a decent length finish. Overall, this is a very well crafted beer that is easy to drink. That having been said, I think that my rating could have been even higher, but for some reason there was some intangible factor (perhaps I just wasn’t really in the mood for this style) that brought down the enjoyability for me a bit. I will have to come back and re-rate this at some point.
