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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Aug 13, 2009 12oz can. Pours a deep reddish brown with one finger head that quickly shrinks to a ring around the glass. Aroma is syrupy sweet caramel, a bit of roast malt, dark cocoa with a toasted quality and a touch of alcohol. A very caramel and cocoa sweet malt flavor.
Very creamy and sweet, malty. Very easy to drink.

Aug 12, 2009 Dark and glassy reddish. Head is cardboard brown and stays for a bit. Specky lace. Has an only slightly orange tinge (like triaminic).
Strong caramel and toffee aromas. Molasses. Like a sweeter barleywine, or a darker brown sugar.
Sweet molasses and brown sugar blast. Really sweet but with a really malty base that balances it. Heavy, malty and good.
A bit oily in the feel, but also a bit chewy. Thick and dry too. Top shelf. A great, sweet Scotch ale. Quite good and strong.

Aug 12, 2009 On tap in a pint glass. Pours murky brown with a dark and creamy almost Guinness-like head. The aroma is sweet malt and dark esters with a fair amount of alcohol and a dash of salty smoke. The flavor is quite sweet and goes down with a bit of smoke and a good dose of hops. Mouthfeel is quite creamy like carbonated chocolate milk.
