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.

Roasted malt aroma. Carries thoughout very well, with just enough malt sweetness and a hint of smokiness in the finish. What a Scottish Ale should be.

Can from Whole Foods (Bowery/E Houston). Dark brown body with thin head. Malt and scotch nose. Syrupy taste of chocolate, malts, toffee and dark fruits. More chocolate in the finish. Quite nice.

Pours a deep ruby red with a medium head. The aroma is chocolate some mild fruitiness and some smokiness. The flavor is earthy with chocolate and some nice bitterness. The sweetness is there but it is well controlled and there is plenty of roasty maltiness. The palate is viscous and smooth.

Pours brown with a very small off-white head. Malty aroma. Flavor is caramel and other malts. Low carbonation. Solid brew, but not outstanding.

12 oz can. Pours a dark red brown with a light brown head. has a rich, malty, brown sugar aroma. Flavor is sweet and malty, with toasty, brown sugar maltiness and some dark dried fruit notes. There’s a bit of a butterscotch note as well. A nice, rich malty scotch ale.

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.

Shared 12 oz. can. Poured a brown/ mahogany with decent, light tan foam to the head and spots and streaks as lacing. The aroma offered up a touch of grain, malt and brown sugar type sweetness, caramel, and alcohol presence. The flavor was similar, with the sweetness remaining, along with a low hop bitterness and light finishing dryness. A decent, drinkable Scottish.
