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.

on draft at the Falling Rock Tap House, Denver. Very dark brown with an off white head. Aroma is very malty, some chocolate, and smoke, and wood. Taste is rich caramel malts, a touch of wood, chocolate and smoky. Nice full flavored and full in body, excellent.

Can at the LI Beer Festival. One of my favorite brews from the festival. Pours a dark brown with a light tan head. Nice caramel and malt aroma. The caramel and malt follow through in the flavor. Nice full body. The alcohol is well hidden, no real bite to speak of. Good stuff!

Malty aromas and flavors. Caramel flavors with some earthiness throughout. Some hops on the finish. Not bad.

IF only more micros could go to cans, it would be so much more convenient. This pours a nice brown colour with lots of creamy syrupy aromas and a decent sized tan head. Roasted malts, toffee and apple in the taste.

Draft - Deep brown, super thick tan creamy head. Malty nose of smokey vanilla, caramel, and roasted chocolate. Flavor matches almost exactly and is extremely smooth going down. Full bodied, soft carbonation, rich malty finish. Really nice malt-head brew...
