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.

Clear brown body with fizzy tan head. The aroma is toffee, cinnamon, nutmeg and light chocolate. The flavor is moderately sweet, dough, caramel, prunes and light herbal. Medium body is a bit flabby.

Nice! Smoke, peat, and caramel, all you could really want in a Scotch ale. Not quite as complex as some of the top tier stuff but very, very fine.

deep mahogany body, very thin head. It is odd to see something I’m expecting to be good to come from a can. Nose is caramel, chocolate, malt, roasting marshmallows & more. This is what I want a scotch ale to smell like. When I take a sip I get coffeecake, brown sugar, caramel, more of that perfectly roasted marshmallow character, chocolate covered cherries. Finish is sweet but not overly so. I can’t think of another scotch ale - not even Robert The Bruce - that I’ve enjoyed so much.

Can. Pours with a rocky brown head, body is clear but very dark maroon. Lacking aroma, slightly nutty. Taste is full and malty, nutty, buttery with just a touch of spices. Round roasted and nutty finish with hints of bitterness. Oskar Blues makes the two best beers available in cans.

12oz Can! Deep brown with slight ruby highlights. Spotty off-white head. Bready toffee nose. Cherry Coke. Sweet caramel and toffee. Slight bitter finish. Nicely balanced between the malt and the hops. Nice burn at 8%. Really nice and sweet.

355 ml can. Dark bown color, disappering beige head. Aroma is very malty, both roasted, chocolate and caramel - also hints of hops. Flavor is malty, with ok hops and some alcohol, but doesnt live up to the aroma.

Can. This is a stupendousy malty beer. Smells of rich chocolate, peat, and pure unadulterated sugar. More sweetness in the flavor - Chocolate, caramel, some stemmy hops finishing with a peaty dryness. A well-made beer but just too one-dimensional in malt land.

This beer was pretty damn good and very decieving coming in the can though i had it on draft. A very dark blackish color with a tan soapy head. Lots of chocolates and nuts in the aroma and body. Very smooth and creamy, damn fine beer if i do say so.
