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. Pours a nice amber color with a light tan head. Aroma caught me by surprise, smells more like a stout, aromas of chocolate, cherry, coffee and malts. Medium bodied, has more the body of an ale. Goes down pretty easy as well. Good stuff.

Can. Dark brown color with a brownish head. Aroma of fruit, chocolate and whisky. Taste of brown sugar, caramel and cola. Honestly I must say that the sweet taste became a little annoying after a while. Drinkable but not the best I have drunk.

Can. Pours deep reddish brown with thick, quickly dissipating brown head. Aroma is thick with caramel malts, floral hops, and plenty of cola with a bit of peat. Creamy, full body. Flavor is sweet with some caramel, but fairly muddled. A touch of warming alcohol. Solid beer.

Pours a headless mahogany with a malty sweet alcoholic aroma with light notes of caramel and milk chocolate. Very very sweet body - just a bit of leafy stale hops, and a lingering caramel/cola aftertaste. Some woodsiness in here too. Thin body, lightly carbonated. A touch too sweet for my liking.

Can. Pours a very dark brown, which kind of does resemble cola, with a red tint. Small quickly diminshing off white head. Aroma is licorice, chocolate, coffee with some roasted malts, spice and slight alcohol notes. Flavor is a nice balance of roasted malts and sweet caramel flavor with spicy, warming finish. Very good beer, esp. the best I’ve ever had out of a can!

Brown with a tan head. Sweet malt aroma with some fruit, caramel. Some bitter roasted flavor to balance the syrupy sweetness. Too sweet for me.

Pours like motor oil,, very little head and a dark brown color. Aroma is licorice, dark chocolate, and scotch. Taste is smokey, with roasted malt. Little to no carbonation, easy to drink but I could only have maybe one or two. Very unique brew.
