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.

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.

Can from the PP Bottle Shop. Still a rather impressive appearance when poured from the can into a pint glass. Hindered aromatics (from said can perhaps?) however, but faint blend of smoky peat and caramel aroma. Deep brown color. Peppery caramel and sugary brown malts dominate the flavor. Finishes easy, multiple cans of this are possible in one session. Not bad.

Tasting at Three Cellars Milwaukee. I really didn’t care for this to much. I found it flat and chocolate and malt didn’t mesh well for me.

I like this style a lot! Its an amber beer on steroids. Creamy texture and lots of roasted mixed malts. Caramely, a bit of milk chocolate and some fruitiness at the end. Id love to try this on tap.
