Oskar Blues Old Chub

Brewed by Oskar Blues Grill & Brew
Style: Scotch Ale
Lyons, Colorado USA

Reddish brown; nice head and good lacing. Aroma screams roasted chocolate malt with some barely detectable coffee. Taste has a bit of nuttiness tagging along with the natural sweetness of the malt. Some smokiness, especially in the finish, adds to the diversity of the flavors. Ends almost like a dessert wine.

I\Canned, of course. My first Oskar, and I can kind of see what the shouting is about. A nice peaty smoke smell, and a dark Scotch color in the pour. Leaves an oily coating on the side of the glass, like a high-test stout. Taste is heady alcogol, with a bot of heather, maybe. Deep smoke on top of fine roasted malts.

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!!

From a can. Pours oil black with a creamy tan head. Smells of roasted malts and toffee. Tastes of caramel, molasses, brown sugar. Finishes with a smoky bourbon flavor. Very nice.

Can, $1.49 for a 12-oz single. Deep reddish to brown, with a small head. Sweet roasted malts in the nose, with hints of spice. Flavor is thick, rich, sweet, and spicy... VERY freakin’ tasty. Alcohgol is present on the end, but it’s cordial-like and pleasing. Nice

Huge roasted malt aroma and smoke, close to an Aecht schrenaoidlfkja;lkjdf smoke. Slightly bitter. coffee taste and heavy roasted malts very full bodied. I really like the novelty of these beers from the can. Though you’d never want to drink this one straight out of the can. RERATE, I did drink this out of the can and with a cheap cigar. This is still great. Tastes more like a thick and rich stout with a lot of smoke (not from the cigar).

Lovely beer. Dark and rich with hints of caramel and toffe, just as advertised. Has a nice fizzy finish that I wasn’t expecting. Nice beer for my 100th.

Seductive aroma of caramel, chocolate, smoked malt and a burnt feeling that reminds me of molasses. The pour reveals a murky dark brown color with a thick, diminishing tan head. The flavor focuses on sweetness and malt, there’s a caramel and chocolate combo with smoked malt and again that burnt feeling. This fine scotch ale has a medium body and oily texture while the carbonation is gentle. I like the fact that this beer is very sweet but doesn’t feel sticky, it’s one of my favorite scotch ales brewed in the USA.
