Jun 9, 2008 Pours dark dark brown, almost black with a small amount of tan head. You can taste the sesame like flavor of the malts right away - very sweet and thick beer with notes of raisins, dates and caramel. Just a taste of smoke, almost a peat like flavor. My favorite Scotch Ale.

Jun 9, 2008 Can from Solan, thanks! Dark brown color. Malt, raisin and cinnamon in the aroma. Sweet flavor with malt, licorice, cinnamon, caramel, raisin and a hint of chocolate. Sweet, but tasty beer.

Jun 8, 2008 12oz can. Pours dark brown with red highlights. Thin, fizzy, offwhite head, no retention, no lace. Smells dark and malty sweet and dark ripe fruity. Very tasty, dark malty, dark ripe fruits, and then somewhat roasty malty as well. Medium body, good carbonation.

Jun 6, 2008 Can. Dark brown, coffee colored, with a dense off white head. Malty - caramel, some toffee. Relatively balanced aroma. Toasty and sweet flavor. Metallic in the back. Oily, bitter finish. Vinous, tannic, chalky at the end. A definitely solid, consistent, and widely available brew.

Jun 6, 2008 Dark brown, with a reddish tinge. Thick foamy cream coloured head. Chocolate and toffee aroma. Sweet chocolate and toffee malt, generously provided. A pruney character to the finish, a little earthy as well. Boozy warming finish, sweet. Very nice.

Jun 4, 2008 a solid choice for dessert. tastes way better when you pour it out of the can into glass. this one is almost black, looking thick and heavy. great aroma of rich, sweet malts. flavors of milk chocolate, caramel, raisins, bread, and smoke. not hoppy, not supposed to be hoppy. delicious beer. alcohol is almost totally hidden, making it quite dangerous. try dale’s pale ale with dinner followed by old chub with dessert to experience microbrew bliss.
tarjei (1741), Bryne, Norway
Jun 2, 2008 355 ml can. Dark bown color, disappering beige head. Aroma is very malty, both roasted, chocolate and caramel - also hints of hops. Flavor is malty, with ok hops and some alcohol, but doesnt live up to the aroma.
