DKTN (110), Mc Donald, Tennessee, USA Aug 17, 2008 Dark brown with a tan head. Dark fruit notes, coffee, roasted malts. Full bodied and creamy on the palate. Excellent. joebudzjoe (222), Connecticut, USA Aug 16, 2008 @ Seaside Tavern, Stamford, CT. The way the bartender poured this beer made it look like a rootbeer float. Very nice sweet malty aroma and it had charleston chew undertones. NomDeBeer (397), Maryland, USA Aug 15, 2008 Cola-colored brown with ruby highlights. Nice off-white head that diminishes to a small ring. Smells of big, sticky malts - caramel, peat, smokey wood, and a touch of alcohol. Flavor is more of the same plus stout-like roasted bitterness and coffee in the finish. Strykzone (1458), Wood River, Illinois, USA Aug 15, 2008 Very dark brown but full of cherry red. Nice tan head. Nose is delightful. It is full of smoky malt and wood. Throw in some whiskey as well. Flavor is pretty much defined by the aroma but add some chocolate covered cherries and toffee. Feel is smooth but not enough life. Alcohol is well hidden. One of the top of its genre. Good!! LouieDog40oz (28), Germantown, Maryland, USA Aug 14, 2008 Old Cub is easily one of my new favorite beers. With its caramel chocolate aroma and beginning taste with the light smokey finish it captures everything great about a Scottish style ale. Bhops (329), Dallas, Texas, USA Aug 12, 2008 Pours dark black/brown, moderate head. Aroma of sweet malts and toffee. Flavor is chocolate, smokey, coffee. Creamy and smooth. Indulgence (141), Ajo, Arizona, USA Aug 11, 2008 Hellava good beer, great balanced scents of chocolate, coffee, hops, brown sugar pop tarts, nice aromas and well married together, deep dark brown-black body with slight lacing, flavor is just as advertised in the nose, goes down really well and too easily, just a great quaffer, palate is creamy, almost oatmeal stout catagory, once again very nice, alchohol, it’s too easy to drink, alcohol is not even noticable, that can be dangerous for such a tasty brew... I want a 22oz bomber of this stuff!!! ReademNwheat (174), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 10, 2008 Pour from a can, dark amber color wiht off white head. Big malty aroma. More dark malts in the taste. Caramel, and some roasty flavors. Pure Maltbomb. Decent beer.
