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.

From the tap poured dark brown with a good amount of head. Nice rich malty flavor with a quick finish.

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.
