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.

Big tan head atop a clear garnet body. Aroma is moderately sweet, caramel/toffee, some nutty, roasty. Taste is strong toffee/caramel, some fruity, chocolate, finishing pleasantly smoky/roasty. Alcohol is mildly evident. Medium-full body. Quite a showcase for the malts.
