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 ounce can from South Bay Drugs ($1.79). Pours a dark mahogany with thin layer of beige head that soon disappears. Rich and sweet malty aroma with caramel. Aroma of sweet smoky malts, toffee, brown sugar, and raisin. There’s a hint of watermelon (!) at the very beginning as well. Good, but could use a bit more complexity.

12 oz can. Deep purple brown with a brief balsa head. Nose is grape jelly and mild scotch. Medium body with prickly carb. Taste is plum, toffee, a touch of smoke and carrot juice with a dry, scotchy finish.

Dark brown pour with a lighter brown head. Aroma of roastd malt and smokiness. Tasty brew- roasted malt, velvet smokiness, taste, taste, taste. A little sweetness at the end makes this one of the nicest beers I had in awhile.After this and Dales, I need to search out more.

In a CAN! :-O Basically what one would expect in a Scotch ale - sweetness, slight smokiness, actually fairly nondescript beyond that.

after one sip you can almost immdeiatly taste the chocolate hints in the back of your tongue. very nice aftertaste witch is not overpowering with a nice drinkability not found in other beers this style. excelent combination of the malts and has a low co2 level which makes beer taste and feel so good to the palate.

Can - Pours clear mahogany with a small cream-colored head. Smells of sweet malt, whiskey, and toffee. Tate is toffee, smooth whiskey, and a little burn that’s really pleasant. Finishes with a nice hop bitterness and faint coffee. Smooth and a bit syrupy...fantastic!

Bottled. Redish dark brown. Off-white head that disappears. Sweet alcohol dominates. Overall not that complex of nose, but malty. Caramel boozy taste with hints of a smokiness or burnt taste. Semi-sweet long lasting finish.
