Oskar Blues Old Chub

Reddish brown to black in color. Decent beige colored head. Caramel in the aroma with some peat and sweet. Taste is a little smoke, caramel, and malty. Sticky sort of feel.

Nice red brown colour. Quite a mild nose. Some alcohol in the taste. Softness of coffee an sweet chocolate. Suitable amounts of hops.

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.

Can. Dr. Pepper body with a lasting foamy head. Nose-straw, peat, dust, cola. Taste-chalky, light peat, medium perfect sweetness, medium peat smoke, light unsweet dark fruit, alcohol on the back end, very creamy without being lactic. Very nice. I like this, and I am not usually fond of the style.

(can): Pours a dark dark brownish body. Good sized head, lasting, tannish, good lacing. Malty alcoholy aroma. Decent taste. Not a fan of the sweet maltiness.

Very sticky beer. Pours a dark brown that looks like syrup. Taste is very syrupy, with toffee sugar and some cola notes. This one had a slight hoppiness that I didn’t want as much of, being a sweeter beer style, but it was still very good. I could drink many a one of these bustards.

330ml can (Pikkulintu, Helsinki, Bitter and Sour 2008)
Good deep red, doughy head. Very malty aroma, some wet sheep. Very smooth and soft in the mouth. Massive roasty malty taste - some coffee. Very sticky. Quite authentic Scottish bent. Quite punchy, and with a decent finish.

My favorite Scottish ale. Pours a very dark brown with a dense head. Great caramel malt tast with a hint of smokiness. The finish is smooth with a hint of hops that nicely balances the malts.
