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.

12oz can. Aroma of roasted, smoke and spice in the mix. Dark bodt with cramy tan head. The creamy head formed a halo on body a good caramel with a hint of spice bitter in the background for flavor. Smooth on palate. About the third time trying to rate this beer. First one disappeared, second time the cat jumped on computer table and that ended up with the cat having to lclean half the pint off her body. Now hope this one stays put.

This beer grows on you...my first impression was that the beer was way to sweet...maybe. More likely is that this is the characteristic of the style...tons of malty sweetness and a hell of an ABV to match. This one warms you up good.

Pours to a deep brown body with red highlights and a nice tan head. The aroma is chocolate, nice peats. The flavor was very creamy. Nice chocolate, peat smoked malts, scotch. The palate is really creamy, moderately bodied, great.

Lots of sweet candy caremel malt in the aroma with hints of toasted almonds, cherry coke, chocolate and smoke. Dark, opaque brown with a tall tan head that leaves good lacing. Flavors are much like the aroma with lots of sweet, smooth caramel up-front and then it changes to a slightly astringant, musty smoke and chocolate. Full bodied with a creamy texture.

This is a class beer too, especially for a can. Nice malty sweet aroma. Flavor explodes with chocolate and caramel, with a touch of smokiness. Like Dale’s PA, I am very impressed with this beer that comes from a can.

12 oz can: Dark reddish/brown pour with a thick tan head that lingers. Aroma is really rich malt, toffee, caramel, and a bit of dark fruit mixed in the bunch. Taste is rich caramel malt, a bit of smokiness, plums, and a little bit of chocolate. Palate is tongue coating and rich. Overall, It’s a very nice beer out of a can, and even if it came in a bottle I would try this one again and again. Cheers!
