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.

Pours a clear dark brown with a medium beige creamy head and lacings. Quite sweet with lots of malts and caramel. Also some brown sugar. Tiny hint of smoked malts. Slightly sticky mouthfeel. Has a touch of whisky. Very full bodied. Medium carbonation. Sweet "heavy" finish.

Draught at The Bier Garden in Asheville, NC. Dark brown, almost opaque, lighter brown around the edges. Foamy tan head that laced the glass. Very attractive, complex aroma including hints of vanilla, moalsses, milk chocolate, and sweet cream. Creamy and slightly sweet. Very smooth due, in part, to the low level of carbonation. Flavors follow the aroma; malty milk chocolate and vanilla with the smallest hint of smoke. This is a good one.

This ale pours a deep, almost opaque chocolaty brown with a thick, fine-bubbled, persistent ecru head. Rich aroma is like smoky coffee, what I call "stouty." Flavor has coffee and chocolate tones, and a fair amount of smokiness. Texture is jazzy and edgy.

From a 12-oz. can--Poured a rich brown-amber body. Sweet, nutty, malty, hoppy nose. Lots of bite in the mouth feel. great carbonation. Finishes with some peat and cola notes. Very complex and delectable.

Thanks to SoLan. Wow, Ireally enjoyed this beer. Pour is very dark rich-looking brown. Aroma is roasted malt, caramel, vanilla, brown sugar. Flavor is very similar to nose, and is full-bodied and rich. Really great stuff.

first taste and i thought this was instantly one of the better canned beers ive had. nice caramel and chocolate malt flavors with a light bit of smokey malt thrown in. excellent mouthfeel...just the right amount of body, not too sticky from all the malt. finished nice and clean with the slightest sweet aftertaste. i could drink this all the time

Can. Dark brow with small long lasting brown head. Aroma of roasted malts and caramel and a little bit of smoke. Taste again roasted malts and caramel ending with some smoked notes. A nice and very drinkable beer. The can was empty before I knew of it.

This is an outstanding beer. Out of the can it gave a great pillowy head when poured into a thick-walled mug. Eminently quaffable with a deceptively high alcohol content, this beer is slammable. Feels great in the mouth and great in the nose. You can go wrong with this brew.
