kwerikson (62), burlington, New Jersey, USA Aug 25, 2009 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. madvike (301), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Aug 23, 2009 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! potbeercollege (252), Boulder, Colorado, USA Aug 21, 2009 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. Hopper (277), San Antonio, Texas, USA Aug 21, 2009 A dark brown beer with a 1 finger head. The aroma was dark cherries, alcohol, & strangely strawberry Kool-Aid. The taste was alcohol, dark cherry, caramel, & a velvety taste. savnac (394), Palmer, Alaska, USA Aug 20, 2009 12 oz can. Deep ruby brown with a very small head. Aroma of caramel, chocolate, wood and smoke. Sweet malty flavor with a light smoke flavor, there is some sour and bitter flavors too. Medium to full bodied with mild carbonation and a smooth oily mouth feel. The alcohol is well hidden and it keeps you coming back for another drink. One of the best beers I’ve had out of a can. ph0tik (71), Denver, Colorado, USA Aug 19, 2009 Oh Old Chub... how proud I am to have you from Colorado and still in a can! A very rich Scottish ale. A bit of a strong finish in my opinion but nice caramel, malty, chocolaty flavor. Not so good in the summer, wait for things to cool down. BiddleBrau (303), Midland Park, New Jersey, USA Aug 19, 2009 Poured darker copper with nice red highlights but head was lacking. Rich malty aroma with a hint of alcohol (reminds me of a Salvator). Sweet, dry and roasty, with a slight alcohol burn. Full and rich mouth feel. This is a nice brew to sip by the fire in the winter vs. the hot summer night I’m having it. Real nice, though. tripelthreat (75), Soquel, California, USA Aug 15, 2009 Ruddy dark brown with a medium-sized light tan head that quickly fades. Nuts, roast, spice and sweet malt in the aroma. Flavor and carbonation come together to make a nutty, mocha cola experience. Finish is a little smokey and ultimately too sweet. Medium-full mouthfeel. Individually, I like the components, but they don’t come together as well as they could.
