Sep 28, 2009 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.

Sep 26, 2009 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.

Sep 24, 2009 Deep reddish brown with a long lasting tan head. Big sweet malty aroma with some whiskey and smoke. Lots of flavor going on, caramel, chocolate, roasted malts, and an alcohol warming at the end. Full flavor while still being somewhat light and thin. Very drinkable, especially for being 8%. One of my favorites. The can rises again!

Sep 22, 2009 While Scottish Ales of all sizes have grown on me significantly, I still find Old Chub overly sweet and lacking complexity. The beer pours a darkened umber with a dissipating head. The aroma is malty with some spice and a fairly strong cola character. It’s mildly vinous with a strong alcohol note. The flavor is malt forward without much hop character but a fairly strong bitter note. There are some roasted malt flavors present and a strong caramelized cola flavor. It’s just too sweet, though. The feel is a lot thinner than I would like. It’s not awful, but there are much better Scotch Ales out there.

Sep 21, 2009 Really? 95? It taste like coca-cola. Reminds me of South African/ Australian wines that sweeten their vintages before bottling. Perhaps I’m a Luddite, but I was not impressed.

Sep 21, 2009 Fantastic Scotch Ale. Pours dark copper with very little head. Very large caramel and toasty flavors that balance well with the bitterness and alcohol warmth. This is a sneaky big beer. The flavors really open up when it warms to 50 degrees or so. This beer is a must have for all refrigerators.
