This pours a nice brown colour with lots of creamy syrupy aromas and a decent sized tan head. Roasted malts, toffee and apple in the taste. texasbartender (160), Sugarland, Texas, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 27, 2008 12oz can from South Bay liquor San Diego. I was very impressed with my first beer from Oskar Blues. Poured a deep dark brown with a faint ruby hue. A very small tan head was there and gone in a flash, little lacing. The nose had hints of toasted malts, dark fruits and chocolate. On the palate, this beer was very smooth and creamy. zappafan99 (462), South Carolina, USA

Complex palate, but not complex in the flavor. Verging on sticky sweetness. Woody. Mildly alcoholic. Still refreshing with all the dark aromas and woody tastes. Sweetness is quite strong. travita (1887), Frisco, Texas, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 26, 2008 I bought a 6 pack of OB Old Chub along with a case of OB Dales Pale Ale a little over a month ago and have very much enjoyed them both. I’ve never really dabbled too much with scotch ales. pours a rich dark brown; 1 inch head. Balanced and complex aroma with savory and sweet flavor profiles; cocoa, oak, maybe molasses, and a bit o’ hop. Sweet with the alcohol coming through on the back end.
Good brew with pasta or something to balance the sweetness.
