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.

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.

My brother introduced me to this gem in can - pours a dark brown with a nice thick tan head. Aroma of hops, chocolate and caramel. With the taste you get the chocolate, malt, caramel and some light smoke. Nice finish - very drinkable... did I mention this comes in a can? Wow....

Love this brew and out of a can wow..Classic flavor and dead on for this style. Malt dominates the flavor and just enough hops to round it out. Highly drinkable and easy to drink . Recommend

On tap at flying saucer. Has a dark ruby color with a small frothy tan head. The aroma is a smoke malt with raisin. Decent lacing on the glass. The taste is a sweet fruit with a light malt. A good scotch ale from oskar blues.

Can. Pours thick dark brown with a medium tan head, good lacing. Smells of apple, coffee, molasses, and maple syrup. Thick body. Cloyingly sweet and sticky, with fruity malt and toffee flavors. Has some grassy hop notes and a slightly crip edge, but not enough to cut the sweetness.

Pours a cloudy amber brown with a nice creamy head. Sweet dried cherries, molasses, and raisins in the aroma. Creamy smoked malt flavor, brown sugar, molasses, and dry finish. Chewy palate at just the right thickness. Well balanced enjoyable beer

12oz can. Pours a deep brown almost black with a khaki colored head that is mostly diminishing but lasts the whole beer. Aromas of chocolate, roasted malts, coffee, and some hops. Flavor is malt forward, with chocolate, a bit of coffee, and a nice bitter finish.
