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.

dark brown with aroma of malt, cream, and a bit of smokiness. Very tasty flavor- silky smooth malty flavor with some sweet notes. Really tasty.

Pours a brownish red into the glass with a thin head. Aroma is very sweet with some maple syrup and spice coming to the nose. Very smooth across the palate with a nice flavor profile that includes caramel and chocolate with a slight vanilla sweetness. Alcohol is very cleverly disguised in this beer. A really nice beer for a cool evening.

Can. Dark brown in color, small head. Aroma of sweet malt, nuts and some brown sugar. Taste is sweet, sugary malty, hint of chocolate. The texture is above medium but not thick. Easy to drink, not my favorite style but still a decent beer.

Pours dark red with nice sized head. Aroma is loaded with caramel malt with a good deal of roastyness and some hop presence. Flavor is deliciously well balance- lots of molasses, caramel and come bitter roast. Palate is thick and creamy- an excellent beer overall.

Can. Pours deep ruby brown with a fizzy beige head. Malty aroma with caramel and fruity esters. The flavor is light and malty, with some fruity esters and sweet caramel. Decent.

can - Pours very dark amber with a thin, lasting head. It smells of caramel malt with a hint of dark fruit. The flavor is sweet caramel with lightly roasted malt and a touch of dark fruit. It’s full bodied and smooth with the 8% abv well buried. Nice brew.

Near black colored with red hints, little light brown head. Strongly roasted aroma with sweet caramel, hints of licorice also present with slight alcohol. Medium bodied. Flavor is also dominated by sweet roastiness, some vinous note also present. Aftertaste is still coffee-roasted with lasting bitter mouthfeel in tongue.
