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.

Brown pour, medium beige head. Aroma is smoke and chocolate. Flavor is light smoke, dark chocolate and dark caramel. Flavor is big yet not too much of anything. Some floral hops as well in the finish. Medium body, good carbonation and a very slick mouthfeel with no alcohol detected.

12oz can from CMUBEERMAN. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Smells spicey with some malty notes. Tastes slightly vegetal with dough, spice, nuts, and some rosey hints. Finishes sweet with more spicey elements.

Can from Charles. Muddy brown with a small off-white head. Nice aroma of caramel malts, chocolate, a little smoke. Sticky, icky mouthfeel with more caramel, chocolate, brown sugar, a bit of hops, and smoke. This is much better than I remember it. I wouldn’t want to drink more than a couple pints of this in a session, but it’s still very good. A bit underrated. One of the best scotch ales I have had.

Can. Appealing dark reddish brown pour with tight-bubbled, creamy tan head. Aroma filled with sweet malts that conjure up molasses, caramel, raisin. Tastes rich with sweet malts and a peppery alcohol finish. Thick and creamy on the palate. Easy, tasty drinking.

12 oz can. Pours a lovely mahogany with a nice tan head. Nose is woody, smokey, chocolatey, bourboney malt. Beautiful, thick dark tan lace. Body is a touch thin, but silky smooth. Flavor showcases the nose. Beautiful!

Dark opaque deep brown in color. A nice cocoa flavor with a touch of smoke/peat. Toffee and butterscotch meld together in the background. A nice scotch ale.

Appears a dark brown with a slight red hue. Decent retention of the tan head with spotty lacing. Smell is of chocolate, smoked peat, caramel, along with cocoa powder dusting. Taste is of the same aromas. Mouthfeel is smooth, sweet, and well balanced. Nicest beer out of a can I’ve had.
