Oskar Blues Old Chub

Brewed by Oskar Blues Grill & Brew
Style: Scotch Ale
Lyons, Colorado USA

Can from Charles. Muddy brown with a small off-white head. Nice aroma of caramel malts, chocolate, a little smoke. Sticky, icky mouthfeel with more caramel, chocolate, brown sugar, a bit of hops, and smoke. This is much better than I remember it. I wouldn’t want to drink more than a couple pints of this in a session, but it’s still very good. A bit underrated. One of the best scotch ales I have had.

Dark brown with a medium tan head. Aroma of roasted, dark and sweet malts, peat, caramel and light chocolate. Taste of roasted malt, caramel, brown sugar, chocolate an light fruit. Alcohol hidden pretty well.

Nice brew, expecting a syrupy sweet brew, but this one is balanced very well, with little alcohol noticable. Smoky, abit of sweetness, hopped well enough. Solid brew! Thanks to Duane for this one!

Pours near black with ruby hues and a fully receding tan head. Aroma of chocolate, raisin, molasses, aromatic malt, pepper, and cereal graininess. Taste is sweet, malty, vinous and fruity with a mild roasty finish. Notes of light roast, chocolate, toffee, peated malt, and smoke. Medium to heavy bodied with low carbonation. Great beer can be from a can.

When they say "cola-colored" they weren’t kidding. Looks just like a cherry coke. Since I am a malt lover, I enjoyed this one, but would have liked something a little different; I just can’t put my finger on it. Very nice mouthfeel.

From a stubby 12 oz. can with a blurb on the back and with what I am guessing is a best before date along the UPC barcode, sampled just above cellar temperature in a nonic glass. Poured a dark Classic Coke brown with a frothy, bubbly tan head, good retention, small amount of ringed sticking. Nice malty nose, caramel, milk chocolate and sugary malts, a very light hint of roasted grains and a mellow earthiness. Good airy carbonation and a crisp, dryish, velvety smooth medium-full bodied mouthfeel. Quite quaffable, a smooth malty taste, chocolate covered caramel, grainy, caramelized sugar, a subtle hint of smoke, more grainy than peat, the alcohol is dominate by the malts and only provides a low temperature warmth in the palate, the hops take a back seat to the malts, at the end an earthy coffee bitterness emerges and a good sweet malty finish, this is a smooth, pleasant sipper.

pours a dark root beer color with a thin tan head. aroma is woody (possibly peaty) with a ton of malt and caramel followed up with some ripened berries. flavors of caramel and brown sugar dominate over notes of earth, chocolate and smokiness. a mild acidity is present on the finish from smoke. lingering flavor of ashy charcoal grilled meat. medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Can Mahogany with full beige head. Great beer out of a can I must say. Rich slightly woody flavor. Big maly flavvoes with little bittering hops. Modest carbonation. Hard to go wrong with oskar blues.
