Jul 14, 2008 Tap @ Pizza Port SB. Pours murky brown with a short off-white head. Peat, molasses, leather, and smoke in the nose. Rich caramel taste with nuts, followed by the peat/smoke and a bitter finish. Kind of chewy ending. Good stuff.

Nov 28, 2008 Pours a dark chestnut brown with a two and a half finger creamy/frothy head. Smells of chocolate and roasted [almost burnt] coffee. You can taste the chocolate right away, with only a slight coffee flavor at all. Very smooth and velvety. It feels the same way chocolate milk does but with a slight amount of carbonation. I could drink a bunch of these but if I finished the whole 6er I would most likely end up in a ditch somewhere trying to hail a cab while crawling. This beer is very smooth! Overall a really great choice!

Sep 12, 2006 12oz Can! Deep brown with slight ruby highlights. Spotty off-white head. Bready toffee nose. Cherry Coke. Sweet caramel and toffee. Slight bitter finish. Nicely balanced between the malt and the hops. Nice burn at 8%. Really nice and sweet.

Apr 21, 2007 A great tasting, malty, easy drinking beer. A perfect beer for the backpackers among us. Probably about the best beer you can get in a can...so be sure to slip a few into your friend’s pack and enjoy an Old Chub at the top of your next fourteener.

Jun 1, 2006 Canned & get extra points for it. Pours a beautiful dark brown. Nose of sweet toffee and choc. Taste has huge malt backbone, chewy. Alcohol is present but never dominating, thou it gets ’fumes’ in the end. I really wish SC would pass that damn ABV law!

Oct 28, 2005 On Draft. Dark brown with tan head. Complex but faint malty aromas of chocolate, coffee, toffee, caramel, and bread. Great taste is more of the same with molasses as the dominant flavor and also a hint of almond, raisin, and plum. Excellently creamy and livily carbonation on the palate. Finishes slightly bitter with a trace of smokiness.

Mar 16, 2006 Canned. Great beer. I’ve never seen a beer quite this colour: a translucent rich brown aptly described as "cola-colored." The nose is long and complex with single malt scotch at the fore, rum-dipped cigar, toasted oak, molasses and moss. While the beer is quite rich there is very little sweetness no more than vanilla extract and bittersweet chocolate. There is a nice enough hop presence to provide balance and offset the density off the malt with just a little zip. A great effort, and from a can as well.

Apr 8, 2006 Updated: Jul 4, 2006Nice dark body with almost no head. Milky peat aroma dominates, very little malts in the aroma as well. Good taste and body, far better than expected from a can. Very clean and enjoyable ending.
