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.

Dark ruddy brown color with ruby tints. Soapy white head, a tighter-looking carbonation than Scotch ales usually have. Aroma is malty, but otherwise pretty plain-smelling, no real strong peat or smoke aromas of note. Palate is a bit thin, but pretty drinkable. Taste is better than the aroma, with some caramel and spice notes. Not bad, very drinkable, but not in the upper echelons of the style for me.

12 oz. can. Pours a clear dark brown/mahogany with a nice beige head and small floaing particles. Aroma of some smoke, sweet malt and some hops. Taste has notes of nuts, caramel, brown sugar/molasses, roasted malt, chocolate malt, smoke and peat. Delicious malty flavor but it’s a little too sweet. Alcohol content hidden very well hidden. EXTREMELY full, round and creamy on the palate with lively carbonation - coats the mouth very nicely. Good head retention. I really enjoyed this one.

By far the best beer in a can I have ever had!! Pours a deep dark amber with a nice tan head. Aroma is malty with hints of alcohol and slightly sweet. Taste is rather complex and as the beer warms a slight hint of the 8% alcohol comes out. This is a must try, great beer.

Smoky, malty aroma with hints of caramel. Pours a dark brown amber. Big flavor, big malt, caramel, bitter chocolate, a slight hint of smoke. Big flavor in a small can. I’m so happy Oskar Blues made it to Florida!
