Jul 27, 2008 Yum! Enjoyed this brew thoroughly. Pours a very dark brown/red color, with lightly tanned head that disappeared quickly. Chocolate caramel aroma is very apparent in this one. Taste is full of chocolate and caramel notes, very smooth, sweet taste. ABV is well hidden, sweet sticky finish on this one. Good thing I bought a 12-pack!

Jul 26, 2008 Brought a sixer of these bad boys camping and drank them straight out of the can, often chasing a bottle of Jameson. Felt kind of bad that I was mixing Scotch and Irish, but oh well. Even without pouring this out, could see the deep copper/amber beer and the off-white head. Really lovely malt. A bit smoky and peaty, and with tons of hops to match. Great beer.

The smells, tastes and appearance of old chub all remind me of sensations I might experience while walking through the study of a retired general––dusty, leathery, and smoky, with just a hint of chewing tobacco and a mildly astringent finish. The flavors are straightforward. This is not a deep beer, but it has lots of character. In short, it tastes and smells like old man.

Jul 22, 2008 THOUGHTS: Great beer from a can. Just about as good drank from the can as from the glass. Hid alcohol incredibly well.
TECHNICAL: Can. Poured a very dark red that was almost brown with nice carbonation and a small, light tan head that mostly diminished. The aroma was moderate caramel, milk chocolate and cocoa powder, smoke and slight cola. There was also alcohol as it warmed. The initial flavor was light to moderately sweet; while the finish was moderate to heavily sweet and lightly bitter with an average to long duration. There was caramel and chocolate malt, some slight cherry and then smoke. the medium body was creamy with soft carbonation and a chalky, moderate astringent and light alcoholic finish.

Jul 22, 2008 Awesome, Awesome, Awesome! What a great beer! I really enjoyed trying this one. In fact, I wanted another as soon as I finished. I was really surprised to get such a great flavored, nice body beer out of a can!

Jul 22, 2008 The can is misleading of coarse. Poured a murky brown. Malty caramel aroma. Tastes the same, with some toffee, light amount of chocolate. Finishes a little smokey, oak barrelly. Warming alcohol at the finish. Quite a surprise, excellent.

Jul 20, 2008 Alcohol well hidden at 8 percent. Dark brown amber color with a beige head and great lacing. Flavor much like aroma, sweet malt, scotch, caramel. Relatively thin mouthfeel.
