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!!

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.

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!!!

Aug 9, 2008 12oz can shared with Matt7215 and his brother, Matt’s can (thanks Matt). Pours a nice dark mahogany, with a small off white head. Aroma is really really nice! Major peaty malts, like big time, and not much else, but what’s there is so damn good smelling you don’t really need much else. Flavour is like a punch in the face with peat, but for some reason you welcome the hit! But in all seriousness, huge peaty, chewy, delicious malts with a great full body to it, pretty smoky too. Maybe my sensory perceptions were off, but I would have bet money that this was only 5% abv, it hides the alcohol THAT well. Man, seriously good stuff here! Maybe it really appeals to the Scottish in me. I wish I could get this all the time around here!
