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.

Can. Dark brown, almost black pour. Aroma of dark fruit, molasses, roasted malt, and sweet chocolate. The flavor is not as impressive as the smell, but still quite nice. The dark fruit, sweet chocolate, some roasted bitterness, smokiness, and some hop bitterness follow. Sort of strange finish for the style; I think because of the hops.

Can. Dark brown color, tan head. Robust malty chocolate aroma. Syrupy boiled down flavor. Smoky wood character with some thick roasted chocolate flavors. Lots of melanoidin. Good with spicy beef and cheddar cheese. Real good for canned beer.

Draft. Brownish black in color with a very thick tan head. Aroma is strong and malty with a dash of smoke and some earthy hops. Flavor is rich and malty with a light smokey character; sweet with a touch of coffee, chocolate-covered raisins, and a mild hop bitterness in the finish. Very good.

Can. Dark Brown color with hint of red. Nice thick off-white head. Aroma is malty sweet with hint of raisin and chocolate. Full bodied and malty sweet with a burnt flavor. Chocolate coffee flavor lingers. I really like this beer. For the price it is a good value and I buy this regularly.

Can, 8.0%. Weak roasted aroma, slightly rough. Very dark brown colour. Small light brown head. The flavour is roasted and quite malty, a caramelly maltiness. Creamy flavour, finishes with a little syrupy sweetness.

Black appearance with a burnt white head. A bitter butterscotch flavor up front with a chocolaty finish. A very good session beer.
