Mar 5, 2008 This is a delicious beer! Smoky malts. Sweet and smoky flavor that is pretty near all malt. Damn good. This is an exceptional beer from a style that I’m not all that keen on. Keep up the good work Oskar Blues!

Pours a dark maroon brown with a tan head atop. Smell is as expected for the style with peaty maltiness in the nose. Never been my favorite style, so the sample size was ample for me. Creamy body and flavor of malt and peatiness. Slight touch of hops to balance but the smoky flavor of the Scotch Ales have never been my thing.

Mar 3, 2008 Pours a cloudy amber brown with a nice creamy head. Sweet dried cherries, molasses, and raisins in the aroma. Creamy smoked malt flavor, brown sugar, molasses, and dry finish. Chewy palate at just the right thickness. Well balanced enjoyable beer.

Mar 2, 2008 Ol chub....sounds like a porno name. Lots of malty-roasty-goodness...semi sweet chocolate...maybe even a bit o bourbon? An interesting brew out of a can! one of the few, but usually these few are exceptional!

Feb 29, 2008 From a can (duh), pours a deep dark brown with a large thick head. Nose is strong and pleasant with lots of malt and roastiness. Attack to finish is some of the best maltiness i’ve had with just a touch of peatyness. Very surprisingly nice beer.

Feb 24, 2008 Can. Pours a clear-looking brown color, with a small, beige head. Malty, peaty nose with chocolate and a touch of fruityness. The flavor is sure malty and peaty, but leaves room for some chocolate and bitterness. Full body, and a long, roasted, peaty and sweet finish. I could wish for more fruityness, but for a scotch ale it’s fine. The alcohol is well hidden, leaving it quite drinkable. (080118)

Appearance: Visibly carbonated dark brown ale with small yet presentable top.4-
Nose : Solid impression of high self esteem, clean rich malts with smooth saturated alcohol. Walnut accent on side.8-
Flavor/Palate : Medium full boded. Smooth, clean mellow richness. Quiet quality of brown malt. Slightly sticky gently sweetness with right dose of alcohol. Nothing is screaming here . Stoic timeless qualities. Monster ales are fad this ale targets mature beer connoisseur. Old Chub despite its size is perfectly balanced in every aspect. This is main strength of this ale. I found very to no fault. Splendid brew that other should aspire to it.
