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.

Pours a dark brown with a large, creamy head right out of the can! Nose is rich of malts and sweet caramels. Taste is a pleasant blend of chocolate and caramel malt, and some hints of toasted malt. A little sweet from the caramel and chocolate, but overall a very rich and tasty feel. Medium body.

So, beer from a can that possibly doesnt taste like a can?? Impossible. Not really - this is a pretty good exception to the rule (surprisingly). Pours out brown with a small tan head. Taste is malty, extremely malty, not hoppy at all. Picked out some chocolate and some other sweetness from this one. Not bad at all really, probably worth trying in most aspects.

Great name, great Scottish Ale! Clear amber color with a nice light tan head. Aroma is a bit light of toasted and roasted malts and a light smokiness. Taste is light malts with more smoke and just a touch of pinewood. Nice hoppiness and finish.

Can thanks to daknole. Dark brown with a thin tan head, aroma is of chocolate and caramel, sweet malts. Some smokiness. Taste is lots of chocolate, smoked peat, more sweetness, only lightly bitter with a lasting smoky finish. Nice and creamy feel.

Can bought at LIC. It pours very dark brown with a creamy beige head. Aroma is very malty with caramel, wood, peat and a bit smoke. Silky smooth mouthfeel. In the flavour I sense beechwood, a bit sweet chocolate, some smoke and overripe fruit. Bit insipid aftertaste.
