Oct 3, 2008 Thanks to mhewes for this one.
Can poured into a standard pint glass produced a finger worth of tan head that went away quickly. The body of this brew was the color of a chocolate lab (dark brown)
Big aromas of roasted malts and light smokiness filled my head.
The flavors are the same as the nose big roasted malts are right up front with a nice sweetness as well. A bit of earthiness makes it self known as well. Rich, creamy and smooth are words I use with this brew as well
A good example of scotch ale I would gladly pick this up if I see it around. All this and from a can too what more can you ask.

Oct 8, 2008 12 oz can. Pours a dark brown with red highlights. The head is cream with lacing and good retention. The aroma is rich with black licorice, mocha and roasted malts. The taste is similar to the aroma. The mouthfeel is full, smooth and creamy. The finish is medium in duration with lingering black licorice. Overall: Another great beer in a can. Recommended.

Feb 4, 2008 Updated: Jun 2, 2008Didn’t get a chance to pour this one...Took a peek in the can and it was a dark brown w/ tannish froth. Great caramel malt taste w/ some hops on the back end. Nice thick texture in the mouth. Great beer that I’d like to taste again...this time in a proper glass.

Jul 26, 2008 Brought a sixer of these bad boys camping and drank them straight out of the can, often chasing a bottle of Jameson. Felt kind of bad that I was mixing Scotch and Irish, but oh well. Even without pouring this out, could see the deep copper/amber beer and the off-white head. Really lovely malt. A bit smoky and peaty, and with tons of hops to match. Great beer.

Apr 25, 2008 Draught at Jacob Wirth’s. Pours a very dark brown, much darker that I’d expect from a Scotch Ale. The taste and aroma are sweet and malty, almost sticky, it coats the mouth and lingers. Rather enjoyable.

Aug 14, 2008 Old Cub is easily one of my new favorite beers. With its caramel chocolate aroma and beginning taste with the light smokey finish it captures everything great about a Scottish style ale.

Jun 21, 2008 Nice beer and from a can, I love it Pour a nice deep brown with a very small head. Aromas of delcicious malts and grains. Flavor is smooth and fairly complex. I like this.
