Feb 13, 2005 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.

Oct 4, 2006 Very deceptive for a beer in a can. Dark brown color. Malty sweet beer with some caramel and chocholate. Great beer to bring to places that do not accept glass.

Dec 3, 2006 Updated: Apr 12, 2007Can. Dark brown, slight reddish lacing. Brown head. Aroma is malt and touch of sweetness. Like all good scotch ales, decent body and a boozy finish. Great beer.

Over the top malt flavors, Chocolate, caramel, a bit roasty and lightly smokey. 8% alcohol? You would,nt know it! Finish is medium sweet and chocolatey. Thanks Larry!

Jul 3, 2008 From a can. Don’t see many cans so almost passed on this one. But it was good. Poured red brown with tan head and good lacing. Nose of roasted malts and some hops. Rich smooth mouthfeel. Flavor tends toward caramel malts and there is a dry smoky finish. Good stuff

May 26, 2009 Enjoyed while eating at Oggi’s while in OC. I started the night off with this one and perhaps it wasn’t the best way, but I’ve been wanting to try Old Chub for awhile now but couldn’t bring myself to buy a 6-pack. So here was my chance at $3.00 a can.
The beer pours out a rich mahogany brown, with garnet edges but a scant sized head. Perhaps the detergent used in the pint glasses killed the formation? After several swirls, it was a pretty lifeless pour. Aroma was sweet, almost fruity but in a soda pop/cola kinda way. More notes I keep picking up were nuts and toffee but it was all seemed lost somehow. Like I was only getting a quarter of what I was hoping to smell. Odd. Mouthfeel is a bit abrasive, but still mild mannered enough to enjoy. Flavors showed a giant dose of alcohol, some club soda like notes, caramel, light peat but overall just not enough there to really enjoy. It seemed overly hot and it just wasn’t working for me.
