Mar 6, 2009 Enjoyed via 12oz can. Pours a nice medium brown color with a slight tan head. Nose is one of crystal and perhaps a small amount of chocolate malt. Sweet and malty on the palate, with a finish that, while sweet, is far from cloying, and that allows the beer to remain highly drinkable. An excellent interpretation of the style.

Feb 28, 2009 Can. Pours dark amber in color with a foamy white head. The aroma is heavy on molasses and ripe, dried fruits. The flavor is very malty with notes of caramel, cocoa, and some what of a hoppy crispness. It finishes with a alcoholic punch and a cloying sweetness.

Feb 27, 2009 Can. Pours a dark amber, almost brown color with minimal head, white and frothy. Aromas of chocolate, roasted malts, and molasses. Initial taste is oily and then it finishes with a creamy, sticky feel. Tastes of chocolate and then finishes with a malty taste. Very good beer!

Feb 27, 2009 Can. Pours a dark brown, almost black, with ruby highlights, with a small light beige head. Smoke, chocolate, caramel, toasted malt, malt, more malt, and a little bit of alcohol. Medium bodied and sweet. Ends in an almost smoky malt flavor, with piles of interplay on the gums.

Feb 27, 2009 Old Chub is a clear dark red ale with a bubbly beige head that fades and leaves nice lacing. It has a deep, semi-sweet, malty aroma that has notes of bread and spicy resin. It is full bodied and very smooth. It’s pillowy soft with a slick finish that’s a little syrupy. This beer is pretty sweet, but balanced with a little resiny bitterness. There is peppery alcohol in the taste. A rumbly sweet aftertaste lingers. It’s quite boozy and quite pleasing.

Feb 26, 2009 Very malty smelling up front, like the sweet syrupy smell you homebrewers know as a fresh batch of wort. Just a touch of smokiness as well actually which my nose found. The pour is a deep red-brown with a thin off-white head that disappears The taste was a very thick syrupy wort flavor as well. Is the alcohol there? Oh yeah it is; after that syrupy sweetness the alcohol hits you though not too strongly. Finishes weakly, but still my favorite canned beer to date : )
