Feb 14, 2009 Black in color...opaque. Creamy head, though a little thin. Sweet malt aroma, with hints of caramel. Front is sweet, malty and a tad smoky...crisp, yet creamy mouthfeel. Back has a mellow malt flavor, with somewhat of a hop bite finish. A flavorful ale...powerful, yet not overpowering.

Feb 12, 2009 Old Chub is a decent beer with a clever name and the can gimmick that Oskar Blues is so well known for (I say gimmick but that tends to imply a negative connotation and I actually love it). This beer sacrificesflavor for smoothness more than Oskar’s Dale’s or even Ten Fidy. An ok offering, but not their best.

Feb 10, 2009 Updated: Nov 10, 2009I have had pleasant scotch ales, and this is not one. I wish it were sweeter, maltier, and less bitter and less dry. $1.29 per 12oz can at Whole Foods.
re-rate- original score was 2.3 (drank from a paper cup)
like a baltik porter, this has a lot of sweet, caramel fudge flavor, thick sweet syrupy body, light but really malty. Not much smell, tho. Can from Abraxas Lounge, Miami Beach.

Feb 10, 2009 (Canned). Pours thick frothy head. Lasts for several minutes before collapsing back into the glass. Body is color of dark root beer. Heavy malty aroma. Also heavy malt in the flavor, crossed with a smoky alcohol in the aftertaste. Body leans ever so slightly to the heavy side of the spectrum. I’ve tried it, but probably won’t make a regular habit of it.

Feb 7, 2009 Can pours almost black, but still enough light gets through to call it brown, with minimal head. The aroma is very malty, chocolate, and peat. The flavor is sweet and nicely peaty. The palate is rich and still carbonated. Overall, a nice can.

Feb 6, 2009 12oz can from City Beer Store in SF. Dark brown color with one-finger tan head, carbonation noticeable. Sweet dark malts on the aroma. Flavor is malty and sweet with caramel flavors and noticeable alcohol. Really smooth mouthfeel. Pretty damn enjoyable.

Feb 4, 2009 A dark ale with definite sweet notes detectable. I had it on tap but I know it is only available in cans elsewhere. I must say, a very good canned beer.
