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. Pours a nice deep dark brown colour with a medium head leaving a good lacing. Sweet mildly roasty caramellic and prune alco aroma. The flavour has plenty of roasted caramel, softly roasted malt, dark fruits, alcohol and slight chocolate. Sweet roastish bitter finish. Now this is the very best can beer I have ever tasted. More like a good weak barley wine than a Scottish Ale.

Can from Solan, thanks! Dark brown color. Malt, raisin and cinnamon in the aroma. Sweet flavor with malt, licorice, cinnamon, caramel, raisin and a hint of chocolate. Sweet, but tasty beer.

Can. Bought @ Ølbutikken. Pours a deep mahogany red. Head is yellow-ish beige and quite fizzy - disappears quickly. Aroma is caramel, toffee, barnyard, cocoa, slightly roasted and smoked. Medium carbonation. Flavour is mildly sweet, wood, cocoa. A grassy bitterness at the far end. Not as sweet as other Scotch Ales, very well-rounded.

(Can) Pours dark burgundy body with a medium-sized tan head. Aroma of chocolate malt, nuts, and a hint of roastiness. Flavor of malt, chocolate, and toffee. Probably the best canned beer I have tried.

12oz can obtained in trade with FlacoAlto (thanks!). Poured a dark brown with red edges and a very small sized off white head. Aromas of toffee, peat, light chocolate and roasted malts. Tastes of chocolate, caramel, smoke and peat. Alcohol content well hidden.

on tap-pours a tan head that is thick and foamy and stays that way, color is black with a reddish tint. Taste is a nice deep roasty, creamy, malty. Mild for what I’ve had with Scottish ales before, which aren’t usually to my taste. A good occasional beer.

Deep brown, quick fading coke head. Smoky milk chocolate aroma, slightly peaty, butterscotchey yet you can smell that this will be a bit watery. Not very flavorful in mouth, mostly roasty and bready with a sweet corn syrup part that I don’t dig. Well controlled sweetness level still. Light body, low carbonation. Okay, this was the best canned beer I ever had and the source for a few laughs over the canned conditioned concept.
