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.

12 oz can from a trade with franknbeans. pours reddish/brown with a small tan head. big dark fruit malt aromas with a touch of smoke, not to much but enough to notice. flavours are a malt tooths wet dream. complex malt structure without being overly sweet. very enjoyable sipper.

A- Now this is a nice looking beer. Burgundy in color with an ample tan head which sticks around for quite a while. S- Smell is fairly faint, raisins, yeasty notes. T- Taste leans toward very dark fruits, raisins, figs, with a very creamy sweet flavor. Almost like a watered down quad but not is a bad way. M- A little light on the carbonation, medium viscosity. D- At first I thought this one would easily be a sessionable beer but after a while there is a sticky sweetness that gets left behind in your mouth. Good drinkability in general though, I would have it again.

Draught at Jacob Wirth’s. Pours a very dark brown, much darker that I’d expect from a Scotch Ale. The taste and aroma are sweet and malty, almost sticky, it coats the mouth and lingers. Rather enjoyable.

Dåse. Flot mørkebrun øl med et pænt skum. Nødde-sherry aroma der virkelig er dejlig. SMagen er meget sød men igen med en nøddeagtig karakter der virkelig gør det til en fornøjelse. Tyk og cremet i munden. Fantastisk øl.

Pours a clear deep amber brown with a nice foamy tan head. Aroma of roasted malts and semi-sweet chocolate. Nice flavor, caramel sweetness with coffee bitterness and a smoky finish. Better than most anything in a can!

Pours a very dark brown, rust color with a small, frothy tan head. Very malty aroma, both sweet and roasted with a little bit of coffee. Very creamy body. Flavor is a little light, mainly coffee with a little smoky wood flavor. The finish has a slightly oily feel somewhat reminiscent of scotch.

big yeast and bread aroma right after the pour ... yeasty aroma stays with the beer ... roasted malt taste ... watered down scotch whiskey without the alcohol ... so far I’m not a huge fan of this style; but this is the best so far ...... I’ll go back to it eventually

Pours a dark opaque brown with a creamy tan head. Aroma is roasted malt with a bit of chocolate. Flavor is malty with some caramel and chocolate and a strange smoky finish. Creamy mouthfeel.
