Oskar Blues Old Chub

A wonderful, warming beer to enjoy by the fireside on those chilly, raw, dark and nasty winter nights....a cockle-warmer for sure.

12 oz can. Pours cola-brown with a thin tan head that laces the glass nicely. The aroma captured me with its sweet and roasty malts. The taste continued with creamy sweetness and roast, balanced nicely with just enough bittering hops to avoid a cloyingly sweet brew. It all covers the alcohol well. I’m surprised I like this beer, but I do!

Seductive aroma of caramel, chocolate, smoked malt and a burnt feeling that reminds me of molasses. The pour reveals a murky dark brown color with a thick, diminishing tan head. The flavor focuses on sweetness and malt, there’s a caramel and chocolate combo with smoked malt and again that burnt feeling. This fine scotch ale has a medium body and oily texture while the carbonation is gentle. I like the fact that this beer is very sweet but doesn’t feel sticky, it’s one of my favorite scotch ales brewed in the USA.

Had this beer at the All Colorado Beer Fest on 11/10/2007. Aroma is a nice roasted malt scent. Color is a deep dark brown with very good carbonation and a thin tight head. Taste comes on with a medium body that goes down smooth with a sweet smokey malt flavor and ends with a very faint hop flavor and bitterness. I am not a big fan of Scotch Ales but this is a tasty brew.

Can! Nose is lots of chocolate and a touch of fresh roasted coffee beans. Pours a nice cola-like brown with a steady head. Fantastic flavor, chocolate-heavy sweetness with some smoke and caramel in the finish. A really fantastic brew. Full bodied but not too heavy.

Pours a dark brown with a tan head. Has hintso f cocoa, caramel, spices, and roasted malts. Finishes creamy like a typical Oskar Blues brew. Very tasty.

Dark ruby beer with a lasting off-white head. Heavy malty aroma, from grainy pale malt to darker roast malts, with some wood, and a hint of smoke. The dark malts and smoke dominates the flavour which is rather sweet. As much as I hate to repeat the marketing speech, there is indeed an aftertaste similar to a good whisky. After half the can, the combination of sweetness and roast/smoked malt becomes too much for me

Thanks to BlackForestCO! Pour is a deep ruby/ brownish with a beige head and good residual lacing. Aroma of caramel, toffee and a bit of chocolate. Flavor is nice...roasty, caramel malt. Nice and creamy. Full mouthfeel. Very good brew.
