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.

Canned. Dark brown beer with a thick and fluffy tan head. Caramel and raisin aroma that continues on into the flavor. Sweet from start to finish. Very thick feeling. Easy to drink with a nice little kick.

Can shared by Fidel, pours attractive burnt caramel brown with ruby highlites. Nose is roasted peet and caramel. Same as in the nose, the flavor has some nice roasted qualities with caramel.

CaryTheDude bought this one at the brewpub. Big, sweet malty aroma with some backing hops. Flavor is huge malt, carmel, maybe some chocolate. Great beer.

Had this beer at the All Colorado Beer Fest on 11/10/2007. Aroma is a nice roasted malt scent. Color is a deep dark brown with very good carbonation and a thin tight head. Taste comes on with a medium body that goes down smooth with a sweet smokey malt flavor and ends with a very faint hop flavor and bitterness. I am not a big fan of Scotch Ales but this is a tasty brew.

Oh beer, how I missed you. Pours black brown color with a medium to large sized light brown head that quickly turns to off white. Nose is rubber, soy sauce / teriyaki sauce with white rice, caramel, and dusty malt. Mouthfeel is on the thin side and I am left wishing for a more chewy / sticky coating to my palate. The taste is a bit basic as well. I am getting wood, caramel, a fleeting hint of dates, and a definitely some smoked malt. Very bitter and lasting finish that lasts at least 45 seconds.

Smokey aroma, chocolate and burnt caramel flavors. Drank while tailgating the Eagles - Packers game. Plenty of room in the cooler thanks to the aluminum cans. Alcohol level @ 8% is too high for a three hour pre-game, and a cost of $28 USD a case was also too high. I can’t see me buying this beer again unless I was buying numerous cases of beer for tailgating or camping and this was "in the mix".

Can. Poured amber, with a off white head. This smelled tin like, under the malts and caramel. Touch of smoke added to the smells when tasted. Watery.
