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.

355 ml can. Dark reddish copper colour. Thick light brown head. Clear, but with some yeast residue floating in the glass. Rich malty sweet aroma with some roasted and caramel. Gives an impression of a really sweet beer. Lightly burnt caramel. Cream. Thick mouthfeel. At first a bit sweet, but the finish is dry with a gentle hop bitter aftertaste. Hops linger a while after swallowing. Surprisingly mild and gentle.

12 oz. can - pours a very dark and thick amber with tanish head fading to the edges; rich aromas of dates, malts and caramel; drinks with a touch of alcohol, but mainly creamy mix of malts and sweetness; very slight dry finish

Of the 3 cans, Dales defenitely hits the bullets. As an aftertaster I had some expects, but Dales is the best. Scotisch and not more, forgetable!

Can from Beerlando. Mildly sweet aroma at first then turning into notes of molasses, some wet wood and a hint of piney hops. Pours a nice deep, rich dark brown with full amber highlights. Plenty of flavor and balanced nicely. Lots of sweet malt, a touch of smoke, molasses, toffee and a kiss of wood smoke. Medium to full bodied. Finishes rather dry at first turning into a linger smoked woodiness.

Carmelly malt and chocolate aroma,distinct but not strong, an initial burst of grainey malt with chocolate, sweet carmel and a touch of fruitiness, all of which suddenly and quickly fades to dryness and a hint of smoke. Its almost strange how that happens. Once again, a pleasant surprise from a can

12oz can from City Beer Store in SF. Dark brown color with one-finger tan head, carbonation noticeable. Sweet dark malts on the aroma. Flavor is malty and sweet with caramel flavors and noticeable alcohol. Really smooth mouthfeel. Pretty damn enjoyable.

Pours thickly to a dark chocolate brown with chestnut red edges. Lacing sticks all over the sides. Sweet chocolate aroma with a lemony alcoholic undertone. Black cherries under the cocoa and a hint of the caramel malt. Burnt graham cracker, vanilla and kahlua flavors with a dirty copper coating. Hints of molasses and purple grapes. Slightly hot, residual oak tone. This would benefit so much from a little more density. Lacking this, the raw burn and general dirtiness are hard to ignore. The malts are so nice that this could have been a real first class effort. Close.
