Jul 26, 2005 This is a lovely malty mess in a can. Never thought that when i cracked a can of suds i would be enjoying a high quality scottish ale. This brew is great. Once i opened it I thought it was flat, no fizz or spit like everyother can of beer i’ve opened. But once it hit the cold glass the head awoke. Nice and frothy. Aroma was very sweet, caramel and coffee. The 8%abv wasn’t even present. Canned craft beer, who would have thought?

Jun 4, 2005 Pours a deep dark ruby with a light brown head. Head is rich and and creamy but fades to a wisp after a couple minutes. Very lacy though. Smells of caramel malt and lightly smoky.
Taste is of rich caramel malt and then the chocolate malt takes over and gives a roasted coffee flavor as it finishes. Smoky. Smooth and creamy. Something is not quite right but the taste is fine. Something just a bit haphazard. But it’s very good and drinkable. The best canned beer I’ve had outside of Young’s Chocolate Stout in the nitro can.

Nov 5, 2007 Can. Dark brown color, tan head. Robust malty chocolate aroma. Syrupy boiled down flavor. Smoky wood character with some thick roasted chocolate flavors. Lots of melanoidin. Good with spicy beef and cheddar cheese. Real good for canned beer.

Jul 29, 2006 Amazing, another kickass canned beer. Very dark brown pour, with a nice tight mocha head. Very sweet and malty, with chocolate and maple syrup flavorings, with a nice bit of bitterness in the finish. Good stuff. Another winner for Oskar Blues

Nov 30, 2005 Dark cola pour with no head - almost like a flat Pepsi. But what this brew lacks in appearance is definitely made up in the aroma. Roasted beans, nuts and smoked peat saturate the nose. The body is quite heavy, but nicely smoked. Dark chocolates and burnt woody notes fill my mouth, along with some fig. Smooth and easily drinkable, this is definitely the best Scotch Ale I have tried. Oskar Blues is apparently on to something with this crazy can thing!

Nov 14, 2005 I was very impressed with the Oskar Blues Brewery - They really made a good showing at the beerfest in NYC

Aug 21, 2006 A can? Good stuff out of a can!? Oskar Blues delivers again, first with Dale’s Pale Ale, and now Old Chub. Pours a dark brown. Aroma of sweet malts, some caramel and maybe some sun-dried fruits as well. Choclately, sugary flavor. Very easy to drink. I wish Oskar Blues distributed to the CU area as this is definitely something I would drink often.
