Oskar Blues Old Chub

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

Big tan head atop a clear garnet body. Aroma is moderately sweet, caramel/toffee, some nutty, roasty. Taste is strong toffee/caramel, some fruity, chocolate, finishing pleasantly smoky/roasty. Alcohol is mildly evident. Medium-full body. Quite a showcase for the malts.

draft- poured a dark aborwn hue with a thick tan head. Aromawas very smkoy with some nice malt notes. Flavor was sweet with some caramel notes but a nice smoky presence relly balanced out the sweetness. The overall body somewhat watery.

12 oz can, poured in a glass. Also a gift from Chris McKim @ the Brew Kettle in Strongsville OH: Deep mohogany brown w/ a lasting light beige head. Alcohol legs noticeable on the glass. Chocolate malt and a bit of alcohol are noticeable first, followed by lightly roasty and smokey notes. Clean malt aromas, not fruity. Caramel character is a moderate. Well balanced and cleanly malty. Although, the malts are a bit light in flavor with chocolatey and lightly roasty notes. Balanced to malt throughout from start to finish, aftertaste is a bit roasty and only hints of smokey. Fuller body, well hidden alcohol, smooth and creamy texture for the low medium carbonation. Wow, another great canned beer from Oskar Blues. And a well made Scotch Ale!!!!!The only drawback I noticed w/ both these beers was a strong aroma of iodiphor if it were to be consumed fom the can, but since it’s not in the beer, it seems to only be on the can itself. Please, bring both of these (Dales Pale Ale & Old Chub) to Ohio!!!!!!

What an amzing beer. Lots of malt flavor, very complex like a party in my mouth. Sweet, malty, slightly smokey. This is good stuff.

Lil 12oz can pours up a nice deep brown colored liquid. Some light is allowed to penetrate in areas where it’s thinner. Nice couple fingers of brownish frothy foam cover the top and slowly settle a bit. Great sticky layer of lace coats the walls of the glass as the foam settles. Big rich Scottish malt fills the nose right away. Hint of caramel and a touch of chocolate at the very end. Killer aroma. Big and bold. Maybe a hint of toffee in there too. Super smooth rich malty body. Slightly sweet caramel coating a touch of chocolate and cream. Smooth and silky on the tongue. Amazingly drinkable with a big and bold flavor. Picked up a sixer in Georgia for $6.99. In Wisconsin it runs $10.99 for a sixer. Kinda hard to swallow that Wisconsin price.

Pours deep black cherry. Amazing aroma of caramel, chocolate and malt. Thin brown head that quickly disappeared. Chocolate, hops, and caramel. Slightly smokey finish. Not bad. If only it had less of an alcohol taste (lttle unpleasant bite there for an 8%-er).

Poured from a 12-oz can a dark brown with a reddish tint. How strange to see anything other than a pale beer come from a can!. Had a chocolate malt smell with a hint of smoke. The taste was of roasted malt, but with some sweetness. There was smoke in the aftertaste and some warming alcohol. A very complex beer.

a solid choice for dessert. tastes way better when you pour it out of the can into glass. this one is almost black, looking thick and heavy. great aroma of rich, sweet malts. flavors of milk chocolate, caramel, raisins, bread, and smoke. not hoppy, not supposed to be hoppy. delicious beer. alcohol is almost totally hidden, making it quite dangerous. try dale’s pale ale with dinner followed by old chub with dessert to experience microbrew bliss.
