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.

Nice malty/chocolaty aroma, pours a dark brown with redish tints if hel up to a light. Very nice malt flavor with a hint of chocolate and only slight roastiness, leaves a lingering smoky taste. More medium bodied than full, but overall an excellent beer for the malt lovers.

#300 12oz can. Dark brown pour. Very malty, peaty aroma. It actually smells a little scotch. Slightly sweet boozy flavor, but very smooth. Tasty.

Can. Powerful caramel malt aroma. Deep dark reddish garnet body, light brown head. Scotch ales are not usually my preference, but this one is fantastic. The flavor is a yummy malt bomb of caramel and a touch of roastiness. Smooth and buttery, with a sweet finish. Super.

not a big fan of scotch ales, but this one i really liked. lots of malts with some smokeyness thrown in. very heavy beer but i suppose most scotch ales are like that. its a cheap beer and thats definitely a plus and unexpected for a beer so high in alcohol!

12 oz can Nose is almost savory; doesn’t really hint at the taste to come. This is fantastic - sweet, malty goodness with flavors of cola, caramel, and much more. Remarkably smooth, and the alcohol is extremely well disguised. Really enjoyed this.

12 oz can from a in person trade with Madvike. I love good canned beer! Pours a deep dark redish brown. Sweet smell of toffee/caramel, alcohol and malt. Taste is very much the same, but SMOOTH. I am a big fan of this beer, but never really gave it a look, probably because of the can. I already went out and got some more.

Pours cola brown with a thin tan head (although it felt weird pouring this into a glass, I really wanted to drink this straight from the can). Aroma is rich with dark malt, roasted and chocolate. Flavor much like it smells, along with some spice and pine. Pretty nice!
