Jun 25, 2003 Seductive aroma--a bit of peat and smoke as well as sweeet malt. Nice texture of malt complexity. A bit of buttery diacetyl, but not offensive. Nice scottish ale.

Apr 18, 2007 Can courtesy of the brickstore. I dig this style. The flat cola flavors and bittersweet tastes are really entertaining for beer. Slight hint of roasted/smoked malt as well. Good color makes you think it is going to be bigger than it really is. This one is smooth and tasty.

Sep 3, 2005 Strong caramel, toffee, brown sugar, prune and tobacco aroma. Deep brown-red hue with a small but creamy, off-white head. Tastes much the same as it smells. Very light bitterness in the finish. Medium-full body, velvety texture, soft carbonation.

Sep 28, 2006 pint at Taco Mac SS - Aroma is chocolate malt, toasted toffee and carmel. Pours deep brown with a medium head and great lacing. Flavor matches aroma. Palate is creamy and smooth. A very tasty scotch ale.

Jan 28, 2005 For the style I think this beer is about perfect, Thanks Slob!. Translucent dark brown. Sweet, carmelly aroma with a slight roast quality. It has a very slight hop bitterness to it(it may just be the roast). Smokey peat finish.

Jun 10, 2007 draft- poured a dark aborwn hue with a thick tan head. Aromawas very smkoy with some nice malt notes. Flavor was sweet with some caramel notes but a nice smoky presence relly balanced out the sweetness. The overall body somewhat watery.

Nice malt aroma with just a bit of a roasty background.
Flavor is a bit like a porter, rich roast malt and cofee.
Slight metalic finish.

Aug 1, 2006 12 oz can
I’ve already had a few of these, but it was time to sit down and rate one
properly instead of merely enjoying it. So I got out my tasting glass, a
can of Old Chub and poured it to enjoy another one. This is a good find and
a great value at roughly a dollar a can. Grab a six-pack and go camping.
Aroma / Appearance - The tan coloured one-finger head sat on top of the
murky black body. It reminded me of squid ink - deep black with only a hint
of light escaping. The nose was a balance of malt, smoke, peat and raisins.
I almost felt like I was in Scotland when I closed my eyes.
Flavor / Palate - The flavor profile of this beer is very complex.
First I picked up chocolate, liquid peat, cherries, caramel butter and velvet
cake. Next came a smoky wave, on which rode the flavors of raisins. There
was a slight bitterness which lingered on the tongue for a few minutes before
it gave up. This is probably the second best beer I have had in a can, the
first being the Dale’s Pale Ale from the same company.
