May 13, 2004 I must send the Thanks out to Aubrey in Colorado… Thanks again for the trade Bro!!
Pours with a awfully dark body, a deep hue of amber; Nahhh, crimson, and the head is a billowing kaki color… rocky and lush! The aroma is mouth watering! Notes of chocolate malt soar from the glass! Coco, coffee, winter dates and figs are abundant.
HOT DAMN! The flavor is robust and toasty as the Devil! Essence of deeply kilned chocolate malt… up front here as well! Toffee, rasins, and oak are found…. This is Unlike any Scottch Ale I’ve ever had… This is more of a Baltic Porter, or Imperial Stout IMO!! MAN, I’m not even going to discuss the “mouthfeel” of a beer named “Old Chub,” just so I don’t humiliate myself…. DAMN, I’m Very Impressed Here; this is the BEST beer I will ever have out of a can!!

Nov 4, 2007 Draft. Brownish black in color with a very thick tan head. Aroma is strong and malty with a dash of smoke and some earthy hops. Flavor is rich and malty with a light smokey character; sweet with a touch of coffee, chocolate-covered raisins, and a mild hop bitterness in the finish. Very good.

Apr 29, 2006 Didn’t enjoy this one as much as the Dale’s Pale Ale, but, as the guy at Sam’s Quickshop said, it’s more of a style-prefernce. I’m a bigger fan of pale ales than I am of scotch ales, no question. This is an excellent example of the style however. Very sweet, caramelly, and some smokey malts. Lively palate, but not overly carbonated. This beer complements a sharp cheddar or gouda cheese like no other.

Dec 10, 2004 Can pours like coca cola, fizzly light brown head, spotty lacing, with light carbonation. Peat, Irish Moss, roasted malts, light touch of coffee beans and a bit of earth on the nose. Definitely seems to have character. Malty up front, peaty, touch of roasted malts. Respectable body, with a decent mouthfeel. Lingering finish of peat, earth, and roasted malts. Quite tasty!

Jan 6, 2008 12 ounce can in pint glass. Deep dark reddish brown with lasting brown head and lotsa lace. Mild brown sugar, gingerbread, earth, and grass aroma. Sweet brown sugar, mild fruit, mild peaty flavor. Very mild bitterness. Seemed smokier when I had it last summer. Medium-full body and medium-low carbo. One of the best Scottish-style ales available, but not as amazing I had remembered it.

Dec 23, 2008 On tap at flying saucer. Has a dark ruby color with a small frothy tan head. The aroma is a smoke malt with raisin. Decent lacing on the glass. The taste is a sweet fruit with a light malt. A good scotch ale from oskar blues.
