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.

Can from Charles. Muddy brown with a small off-white head. Nice aroma of caramel malts, chocolate, a little smoke. Sticky, icky mouthfeel with more caramel, chocolate, brown sugar, a bit of hops, and smoke. This is much better than I remember it. I wouldn’t want to drink more than a couple pints of this in a session, but it’s still very good. A bit underrated. One of the best scotch ales I have had.

Strong burning maple alcohol malty aroma. Deep dark color with thin lace. Solid malty flavor though a bit flat. Great smoky burnt finish with subtle hopiness. Best beer from a can on the market.

On tap at Pizza Port and over hyped. Dark brown with no head. Chocolate roasty malt aroma. Smooth chocolate and orange peel taste with a roasty semi dry finish.

On tap at the Brick Store. Just a lovely, comforting ale. Deep, dark brown with a thin and creamy head. Malty aroma which is a good indication of flavor. Rich and malty, with chocolate, caramel, and hints of molasses all blending beautifully, but it doesn’t overdo the sweetness. Just a hint of smoke on the finish, does a good job of hiding the alcohol contained within. Will definitely try again.

12 can. Pours a clear brown cola color with a small white receding head. Nose is malty & sweet. Mouthfeel is smooth, creamy & moderately carbonated. Taste is sweet malt, some caramel w/ hints of chocolate. Very nice easy drinking brew.

Nice beer and from a can, I love it Pour a nice deep brown with a very small head. Aromas of delcicious malts and grains. Flavor is smooth and fairly complex. I like this.

(Can at Pikkulintu on 2008-06-15) Deep reddish brown colour. Clear. White small quickly disappeared head. Lots of malts in nose, and some chocolate, too. Full and sugary palate. Salty liquorice, malts, hints of syrup and quite amount of chocolate in taste.
