Oskar Blues Old Chub

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

Can. Pours a nice deep dark brown colour with a medium head leaving a good lacing. Sweet mildly roasty caramellic and prune alco aroma. The flavour has plenty of roasted caramel, softly roasted malt, dark fruits, alcohol and slight chocolate. Sweet roastish bitter finish. Now this is the very best can beer I have ever tasted. More like a good weak barley wine than a Scottish Ale.

Pours a nice thick dark brown with a medium tan creamy head. Very malty rich aroma, slight smoked peat, chocolate, caramel, sweet molasses. The flavor is very rich, alcohol shows through just a little. Smoked peat a tad noticeable, but well contained. Nice caramel, chocolate, molasses in the taste. A fantastic beer.

Can. Pours dark amber, to a nearly opaque ruby in the glass, with a moderate tan head. Aroma is rich and malty; mainly sweet and caramel, but also a bit of roastiness, smoke, and chocolate. Flavor has the same elements, but is a robust bittersweet than outright sweet, with a well-blended mix of many malt flavors. Smooth and slightly creamy on the palate, with relatively low carbonation. I was surprised when I found out it was 8% alcohol; I would’ve guessed 5%. Quite good, and in a can and reasonably priced at that.

Appearance: Pours out dark chestnut brown in color with a brown head made of thin, unconnected bubbles that soon vanished. Smell: Sweet-smelling with a huge, rich malty profile. Sliced dried dates. Fresh flowers. Some gentle spiced rum booze notes as well. Taste: CAN YOU HANDLE MALT?!?! Let’s hope so! Caramel and toffee almost exclusively dominate the palate, no question there. Cocoa powder. And some smokiness. Nice touch, fellas! Gentleman Jack-ish. Alcohol is apparent in this brew. A teeny-weeny amount of herbaceous hops add a bit of spice for the finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-full in body, with a faint amount of carbonation. Creamy. Drinkability: Well made and full of flavor. A bang-up job for a canned beer. Give it a try!

I like this style a lot! Its an amber beer on steroids. Creamy texture and lots of roasted mixed malts. Caramely, a bit of milk chocolate and some fruitiness at the end. Id love to try this on tap.

Nice! Smoke, peat, and caramel, all you could really want in a Scotch ale. Not quite as complex as some of the top tier stuff but very, very fine.

12 oz can. Dark brown almosr opaque body with creamy tan almost guiness like head. Doughy, nice dark sweet malt w fruit maybe strawberry. Caramel and very strong malt push, slight bitterness and some pomegranate. Med to full body with creamy carb. Very good overall and was somewhat surprised with how happy drinking a beer from a can made me.

Can, totally surprised by this one. Got the 6 pack for free and assumed it would be something cheap. Loads of malt aroma. Great malt chocolate taste. Incredible. Caramel and its creamy mouthfeel make you feel like you’re drinking a beer milkshake. Great
