Oskar Blues Old Chub

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

Medium creamy beige head. Dark red barely translucent body. Cream caramel aroma with hints of roastiness in the background. Velvety, mild, roasted malt taste with hop touches. Very nice, and quite odd. (0.355l can.)

Pours a deep brown with ruby hints and a large well developed white head. Nice lacing that doesn’t develop naturally but does develop when it is messed around with Nose is deep. Sweet malts and roasted malts are huge. Toffee and burnt chocolate throughout as well. Cabonation is sparse. Somewhat light in flavor. Chocolate, subtle smokiness sweet malts and a nice hop bite on the finish. Mouthfeel is full until then finish when it thins out and becomes watery. Nice flavor profile throughout the beer. Nothing great, but totally solid.

Pours the color of cola, with a generous, creamy, tan, long lasting head. Aroma of caramel, dark malts, brown sugar. This beer has such a rich flavor and a syrupy texture. I pick up brown sugar, dark malts, chocolate, and an alcohol spiciness. Palate is averagely carbonated. This beer is a belly warmer!

Ol chub....sounds like a porno name. Lots of malty-roasty-goodness...semi sweet chocolate...maybe even a bit o bourbon? An interesting brew out of a can! one of the few, but usually these few are exceptional!

Absolutely beautiful as it chugs out from the can, filling in as deep mahogany with safire accents and a creamy, well-retained, foamy tan head. Cherishing aroma dabbles in peat, jerky briefly held in burlap bags, honey roasted peanuts, dry milk chocolate, caramel coursing through brown sugared pralines and hints of crème brûlée pudding. Cocoa butter takes a brisk aluminum flagpole lick to kick off the flavor. Greasy caramel lozenges partially spiced with cinnamon and pepper. Smoked peat plays out with a flavor akin to the damp bottom of a grain bag residing on a rain-sodden barnyard floor. Slight accent of smoked ham. Chocolate covered Werthers originals and Rolos staying in the Christmas stocking over the off-season. Fairly flavorful array that covers the palatary playing field, but a touch thin in the liquid’s recession. That being said, this is the caramel-chocolate-smoked malt show. Cola contributions and smoke roasted (unsalted) walnuts bring up the rear, paired with aluminum, pinching spice accents and dry chocolate shavings.

Canned. Pours a dark brown with red when held to the light. Light foamy tan head that left lacing. Nicest looking beer I have ever scene poured out of a can. Aroma of caramel, chocolate, raisins, Flavor of chocolate, smoke, lightly sweet malts. Sensing a bit of the hops in the flavor (nothing too much though). Smooth and creamy mouthfeel. Very well done Scotch Ale.

best beer i have ever had from a can. smokey and thick and a beer you can really chew on. mmmm. some dark chocolate, carmel, malt, and toffee and nougat (haha) flavas. nice smooth texture that just calls you to grab another one.

Can?! thanks to CaptainCougar: Dark brown pour, with a small tan head. Aroma rich malts, some chocolate. Flavor was chocolate, roasted malts, some bitterness on the finish. Mild carbonation, light bodied. By far the best thing I’ve ever had out of a can.
