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. 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, molasses,and peat with a good deal of roastyness and some minor hop presence. Flavor is deliciously well balanced- lots of molasses, caramel and come bitter roast. Palate is thick and creamy- an excellent beer overall. Nov-10 re-rate.

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.

Pours a purple/brown color with thick, billowing cocoa colored head. Beautiful sweet malty aromas with hints of caramel, dark bread dough with dried fruit. Full bodied beer with desent carbonation. Sweet malty taste hits first, followed by a sudden rush of pungent brandy soaked fruit candy. Beautiful balance of sweet malt and peppery alchohol. The finish is long and lingering with hints of semi-sweet baker’s chocolate, coffee, and kahlua liquer. Try with chocolate cake or rich dark fruitcake. P.S.- don’t let the aluminum can fool you, this is a top notch beer.
