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.

Appearance: Dark, dark, ruby red with a small but thick white head. Aroma: Spicy, yeast, malt, wood, cream and milk and some smoke - wow. Flavour: Nice smoked malt, thick mouthfeel, spice, alcohol and a nice long malty finish.

Virginia Beer Festival. Dark brown pour, with a deep tan, foamy head. Nice flavor of smokeyness, nuttiness, and hops.

Nice, roasty-malted aroma - great-looking too: rich, frothy- pours very nicely. Cholocatley and caramelly. Very smoooth and creamy mouthfeel. Props to a new Scotch ale.

This pours a nice cloudy brown color with a light tan head. Aroma is of caramel, roasted malts, hints of chocolate as well. Flavor is silky smooth, caramel and a nuice malt sweetness, with a subtle bitter roastedness and chocolate in the swallow. Really smooth and good stuff especially for the style.

Clear deep mahogany red brown body with a huge light brown head; Not to big but very pleasant dark and milk caramel sweet nose; Soft texture, bitter very milky sweet body with way to little carbonation; Quite long bitter sweet finish, spicy tobacco notes are apparent, thin texture and yet a little cloying.

12 oz can. Dark brown almosr opaque body with creamy tan almost guiness like head. Doughy, nice dark sweet malt w fruit maybe strawberry. Caramel and very strong malt push, slight bitterness and some pomegranate. Med to full body with creamy carb. Very good overall and was somewhat surprised with how happy drinking a beer from a can made me.

On tap at Falling Rock: Pours burgendy color with a creamy tan colored head. Flavor is chocolate malt. Mouthfeel is very soft. Not sure this sample was in the best condition. I would like to re-rate from the can.

Can. Dark brown, almost black pour. Aroma of dark fruit, molasses, roasted malt, and sweet chocolate. The flavor is not as impressive as the smell, but still quite nice. The dark fruit, sweet chocolate, some roasted bitterness, smokiness, and some hop bitterness follow. Sort of strange finish for the style; I think because of the hops.
