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 full bodied and creamy scotch ale. Rich caramel malts and toffee in the taste and finish. A little too sweet for me though. No taste of alcohol. Very dense and heavy taste. Not a fan of cans.

Never the same twice for me. Dark chocolate and black licorice. Finishes rather flat, great abv level and not lacking in overall flavor. Great value at $8.99 a six pack.

(Can) Pours a very dark brown, with a thin amount of brown head. Very low carbonation. Robust aroma of coffee, chocolate, and smoky campfire. Flavor includes some toffee, smoked peat, sweet cocoa and unrefined sugar. Overall, a very pleasant blend of flavors. Mouthfeel is full, and somewhat heavy. Alcohol is rather noticeable in the finish. It’s still an excellent scotch ale, and it will find it’s way into my regular drinking rotation.

Had on tap at JP Henleys and shared by Dragonstout. Thanks Brian! This is the first beer I have had from this brewer. Poured a dark brown with thin head. Aroma was roasted nuts and toffee. Flavor was slight milk chocolate, caramel, and cream. Very good and very drinkable.

On Tap at Highland Kitchen. Cola-brown with a very thin head. Slight spicy-orange aroma. Tastes malty and smoky, medium-bodied with a bit of a sour aftertaste.

12 oz. can from Whole Foods Charlottesville. Cola brown with a thin head. A thin aroma does contain pleasant notes of brown sugar, toffee, chocolate and peat. Taste is caramel, brown sugar, hops, peat. Well hidden alcohol.

Can bought at LIC. It pours very dark brown with a creamy beige head. Aroma is very malty with caramel, wood, peat and a bit smoke. Silky smooth mouthfeel. In the flavour I sense beechwood, a bit sweet chocolate, some smoke and overripe fruit. Bit insipid aftertaste.

355 mL can, drunk from the can, so I don’t really know the colour. Aroma is toffee and sweet, roasted malt. Flavour is sweetish caramel, brown sugar, a touch of smoke, and some candied fruit. Alcohol is invisible. Medium to full body. Medium to low carbonation. Great canned beer.
