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) Clear, very dark red with a small, lacy head. Caramely-malty aroma with somewhat burned feel. Very smooth, lightly burned flavor with some starchy-grainy feel. Medium-bodied with medium carbonation. A decent scotch ale, but nothing very special.

On tap at the brewpub, 4/13/06: Very dark brown with a medium-to-strong cooked brown sugar flavor. Roasty finish. Bit thin, yet this is a heavy drinker. It’s too warm outside!

Pours amber with a red hew & creamy off white head. Very malty aroma - chocolate, caramel.. very sweet. Taste is smooth & soft with notes of roasted malts & hops. Perhaps some light smokey notes. Long lasting finish & very enjoyable!

GABF2004... Poured a dark brown color with a light tan. Aroma of roast, peat, and sweet caramel malts. Nicely roasted, chocolate smoke and more caramel. A very nice Scottish ale, especially since it comes from a can.

Another from Skyview. Dark brown color with a thick head. Big aroma of peaty smoke and some salt. Very sweet malt taste, peaty body and just enough hop bitterness towards the finish to keep it from turning into syrup. Very nice.
