Nov 7, 2007 Thanks to BlackForestCO! Pour is a deep ruby/ brownish with a beige head and good residual lacing. Aroma of caramel, toffee and a bit of chocolate. Flavor is nice...roasty, caramel malt. Nice and creamy. Full mouthfeel. Very good brew.

Dec 31, 2008 Can, i have a bad habit of saying bottle. Pours a brown body with a tan head. Sweet caramel, coffee, chocolate, and a hint of watered down scotch. Nice alcohol with a note of peat in the finish.

Aug 27, 2008 Pours deep brown/ruby with a beaige head. Toffee, molasses, roasted malts, some cocoa, and spices in the aroma. Very tasty! Roasted malts, toffee, chocolate, molasses, and nice spice. Bubbly body with a light burn. Flavors pop well and are expertly blended. Surprisingly, it remains pretty easy to drink.

Jul 4, 2006 Aroma didn’t do much for me. the main taste of this is caramel with a smoky aftertaste. It is very drinkable and i was shocked that it was considered a scotch ale. Definatly looked and tasted much more like a porter. very good beer and will definatly seek this out after it goes out of the toads rotation.

May 7, 2006 I really enjoy this beer. It’s got a hint of coffee and has a sweet aftertaste. It pours dark brown and has a creamy brown head.

Aug 10, 2007 A deep deep dark red/brown pour with a light tan lace. An aroma of raisins and burnt coffee come to mind for me. A flavor of rich toasted malty chocolate and the raisins. It has a very pleasant lingering after taste that reminds me some of a dried fruit drink not the gooy sweetness of dates but something like the juice would taste if you could make it. A full creamy rich mouth feel and excellent carboantion make this a very damn good beer.

Aug 9, 2007 12 oz. can (I hope this wave of canning beers is going to open up the floodgates for us to try more beers!) wow - deep brown (almost black) pour with a sweet malty smell really packs a punch with it’s high alcohol/malty taste - slight smoky flavor balances well with the complex flavors within - vanilla, caramel, chocolate. Excellent (and I don’t normally enjoy Scottish style ales).

Mar 19, 2006 Updated: May 10, 2006Old chub is a dark red/black beer with a thin bubbly white head. The aroma is very malty with sweet caramel and chocolate, and the hops are there too. Smooth palate, maybe a bit too carbonated. The sweetness of the aroma isnt as apparent in the flavour, but the chocolate and maltyness is still there along with the hops. Roasty finish.
It gets an extra point overall for coming in cans.
