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.

fine offering from this great brewer. Malty for sure, but also more burnt flavors than I was expecting. Smokey for sure, and very enjoyable...

Can. Pours dark brown with a thin beige head. Aroma is roasted malts, smoke, hops and some chocolate. Nice and creamy palate. Taste is sweet with notes of chocolate, smoke and nuts. A lovely brew from one of my favorite breweries.

Can. Dark brown, almost black pour. Aroma of dark fruit, molasses, roasted malt, and sweet chocolate. The flavor is not as impressive as the smell, but still quite nice. The dark fruit, sweet chocolate, some roasted bitterness, smokiness, and some hop bitterness follow. Sort of strange finish for the style; I think because of the hops.

Can from mcbackus: Pours a very deep brown with a creamy white head. Carmel, peat and smoke on the nose. Taste is sweet up front witha fade to smoky peatness. Finish is slight chocolate with carmel.

Poured a dark brown, almost coke like color with thick tan head from a can. The aroma is of caramel, chocolate, and roasted malts. Had a nice creamy mouthfeel that tasted like chocolate and caramel, almost like a milkshake. The finish was nice and smooth with a hint of smoky flavor to it that leaves you wanting more. I just had this stuff on tap at Redlight and it is even better. Really good stuff.

This is an interesting beer that reminds me of my time living in Scotland. Strong alcohol aroma mixed with a sweet smoky flvor make it an ideal desert pairing beer. Strong molasses and malt flavors make this a beer that though it steps outside of the IPA style that I normally drink is very, very drinkable. I really like this beer.
