Oskar Blues Old Chub

Great very dark brown coloured body with a nice sized brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, nuts, cherries, chocolate and even some strawberries! Medium-bodied; Chewy taste of nice roasted malt, strong chocolate, coffee, nuts and a very good dose of fresh fruit - both pit fruits and fresh fruits of cherries and apricots. Aftertaste is sweet, bitter, alcoholic and very warming. Overall, a very nice scotch - definitely worth trying...plus the can makes it that much better! I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Whole Foods in Vienna, Virginia on 15-January-2008.

Opaque brown pour with the slightest of reddish tints. Thin off-white head. Flavor is roasted malts, some coffee, a bit of chocolate, and some dark fruit. Flavor is dominated by roasted malts, but also has the coffee and chocolate flavors, but all are very mellow and congeal together nicely! Bitter coffee on the after-palate. Nice level of carbonation and a nice mouthfeel...well above average for a Scotch Ale. A quality scotch ale (extra points for coming in a can!)

12 oz. can, has a dark ruby pour with little brown and black mixed in, an off-white head appears which leaves lots of lacing, aroma of sweet chocolate, roasted malt, brown sugar, and faint sweet fruit, some smoke peat aroma, cellar fragrances? Malt sweetness, coffee, some caramel, toffee, lots of toasted and roasted malt flavors, I thought I tasted some burnt malt flavor that was complimentary, hardly any hops in this brew, a very smooth drink, malt flavors linger at the finish, an ale with lots of malt flavor, has a creamy mouth feel and is full on the palate.

12 oz. can from Plaza Liquor - Pours a clear brown color with a one and a half finger thick light tan head. Nice lacing. Has a lightly smoked malt aroma. Perhaps peat? Flavor is nice and malty but not sweet. Smooth mouthfeel with no lingering aftertaste. One of the better Scotch ales I’ve had.

can. pours a dark brown w/ medium thick tan head. sweet aroma with caramel and roasted malt. nutty, oak and malt. very tasty.

oh, if single malts tasted this smooth! There is a roastiness that cuts the sweet and improves this beer over other similar sugar tidal waves. The finish is a delicate competition between the tongue-tip sweet sensor, and a lingering light bitter dry at the thick end of the tongue. This is Caffreys meets a belgian dubbel and it works well.

12 ounce can in pint glass. Deep dark reddish brown with lasting brown head and lotsa lace. Mild brown sugar, gingerbread, earth, and grass aroma. Sweet brown sugar, mild fruit, mild peaty flavor. Very mild bitterness. Seemed smokier when I had it last summer. Medium-full body and medium-low carbo. One of the best Scottish-style ales available, but not as amazing I had remembered it.

Hazy dark brown (mahogany) with a slight tan head. Aroma is heavy and sweet with some alcohol. Nice heavy palate perfect for the style. Flavor is sweet malt and almost an estery component. Really nice balance. I love this beer.
