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.

What an amzing beer. Lots of malt flavor, very complex like a party in my mouth. Sweet, malty, slightly smokey. This is good stuff.

From the can of course. Dark brown color. Thick head that stays around for a while. Peat aroma but not overdone as in most Scotch ales. Earthy caramel taste. Pretty solid scotch ale.

Can, pours a dark distinct brown color. Aroma is roasty and super sweet scottish style. Flavor is full and rich of caramel, roast, sugar and it is very sweet. A filling beer that I have purchased a few times but I don’t know what to eat with it.

Can poured into a pint. I’m usually wary of canned beer, but this was actually pretty good. Great scotch ale.

Very nice appearance, burgundy with decent head. Scent is very sweet malt. Taste is different, can’t tell if it’s heavy or not. Reminds me of a spiked tea.

Can. Pours a deep brown color, but clear, with an off-white head. Aroma is chocolate, caramel, and grain. Taste is largely roasted malt, with a little grain and highly, highly detectable alcohol at the end. I like it, it’s pretty solid, but something just seemed like it was missing here. It’s good, but it could be better.

Aroma of chocolate, wood, and caramel. As I poured this brew I became even thirstier because of the beautiful dark amber color. Jam-packed full of flavor! Initially I picked up on notes of at least 8 different flavors within about a second. First off I recognized the alcohol flavor, followed by roasted malts, and with a strong finish of smoked amazingness. This is an excellent and well crafted scotch ale that shouldn’t be missed.
