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.

Very dark copper pour with a strong caramel malt rich aroma. Very roasted aroma and flavor with thick caramel and medium malt. Alcohol is well hidden but warming. Damn good brew. Well blended.

Pour is a super dark brown with a small white head. Aroma is very nice with lots of roasted malts and molasses. flavor is not so much. Very heavy and cloying to start with. Some malt, some wood smoke and a lot of booze. I’ll give it props for being something different but this is not for me.

One of the smoother wee-heavies I’ve drank. Sweet taste from the start, with a bit of a hoppy finish. Overall, a nicely balanced beer with good body.

Can->thistle-like tulip: Pours a large, rocky, light brown head that exhibits fair lacing atop a ruby-black body. The aroma is of burnt sugar, caramel, and cookie, hops of perfume, and a light yeast aroma as well. The body is full, the texture creamy, and the finish astringent. The flavor’s duration is long, being moderately sweet and lightly bitter.

Brown pour with an offwhite head. Aromas of Roasty malt and some caramel. Mouthfeel is full, plenty of malt, with a dry finish. Very good stylistically

Draft from Liberty Taproom. Nice dark color with a tannish red head. Very malty aroma with a hint of chocolate, with matching taste. Nice body, dangerously easy to drink.

Tap @ brewpub. Clear dark cola color, short head. Thin aroma of malt, some caramel. Taste of some smoke, malt. Good malty body, which makes up for the thin aroma.
