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.

Dark brown with a tan head. Dark fruit notes, coffee, roasted malts. Full bodied and creamy on the palate. Excellent.

@ 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.

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.

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!!

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.

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!!!

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.
