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.

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome! What a great beer! I really enjoyed trying this one. In fact, I wanted another as soon as I finished. I was really surprised to get such a great flavored, nice body beer out of a can!

Beautiful, oh, my yes. Some sediment; been aged a month or four. Lovely opaque espresso colour, tan head. Chocolate toffee coffee scent, very nice. As it warms it gets better. Rich palate, alcohol is well-hidden, some carbonation matched with substantial malt flavours. Tops.

Pours a blood brown color with big dense tawny frothy. The aroma a little yeasty integrated with sweet malt. It’s an off dry (fruity, semi sweet) brew with a diverse flavor profile. It’s luscious and malty right up front with a slight hoppiness to follow. Then the earthy barnyard flavors protrude releasing complexities to include fresh biscuits, sourdough, and a wet campfire. The finish is long with a slight fruity bitterness. Alcohol is well hidden. This is the best canned beer I’ve ever had. I laughed when I tasted it. It’s so tastey. You’d never believe it was canned. I highly recommend this brew.

12 oz bottle via JOHNyKAT (hey this guy sends me a package for no reason exept that he is cool..f%&$8n’ hey!!!! thanks, mr kat YOU RULE!). Pours A DEEP DARK BROWN WITH A LARGE BEIGE HEAD. Nose is heavy chocolate malt(nuts), phenols, and yeast. Hmm, this is weird as it tastes like an easy drinking vanilla flavored porter but with much more going on...quite nice. Med body, low carbonation..i love this one but i dont like scotch ales, so whaT DOES THIS MEAN...?!!!!!! I DON’T really know, but i like this beer, it is good at 3 AM on an August night:=)
