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.

Poured cola like with a nice foamy beige head. Aroma is smoky and like a nice pipe humidor. Flavor is subtle, with caramel, roast, and light pepper. A bit thin bodied for the style, but finishes very clean.

Can from Total Wine Clearwater. Pours a dark brown with a small off-white head. Nose is malt, earth, some smoke, and barely noticeable caramel and sugar. Flavor is lots of malt, light smoke, molasses, some brown sugar, and a woody earthiness. Very nice overall.

Can thanks to daknole. Dark brown with a thin tan head, aroma is of chocolate and caramel, sweet malts. Some smokiness. Taste is lots of chocolate, smoked peat, more sweetness, only lightly bitter with a lasting smoky finish. Nice and creamy feel.

Can. Powerful caramel malt aroma. Deep dark reddish garnet body, light brown head. Scotch ales are not usually my preference, but this one is fantastic. The flavor is a yummy malt bomb of caramel and a touch of roastiness. Smooth and buttery, with a sweet finish. Super.

Can, i have a bad habit of saying bottle. Pours a brown body with a tan head. Sweet caramel, coffee, chocolate, and a hint of watered down scotch. Nice alcohol with a note of peat in the finish.
