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.

Despite the canned packaging, this is good stuff. Nice scotch colored ale with okay head. Light smokiness in aroma and solid, telltale Scottish malting. This one goes down easy, as you barely notice the *% abv. Moderately robust malt flavor and easy smokiness.

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...

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.

Deep red-brown. Nose sweet, malty, a bit peaty. Quite sweet, loads of sugars, nicely balanced with some chocolate, peat, and vague smoke. Excellent for a canned beer, but is a mite on the sweet side.

Can. Pours somewhere between blood red and black with a small beige head. The aroma is caramel, biscuits, and malt. The flavor is caramel, raisin, wood, some mossy hops in the background, and a smoky finish.
