Oskar Blues Old Chub

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

Can@Home. Chocolate and coffee aroma. Ruby color, beige fine head, very nice lace. Sweet, light bitter, chocolate, licorice, coffee, roasted, soft mouthfeel. At first I thought it has a nice complexity and wonderful mouthfeel. But halfway the glass I found it too sweet and flat. So I downgraded my scores but a 3.8 is still a very nice beer. Thanks Yngwie!

Clear copper color with a taller tan head with lines of lace as it you imbibe and it settles. Specialty malt house aromas with caramel, mild coffee and chocolate and a touch of peat. Smooth and relaxing feel, perhaps a touch thin. 8% not found in this one. Flavors follow the aromas quite well. Long linger of lightly roasted malt. Nice malty brew. Could use a touch more peat, but what should one expect from a can ;). Thanks SecretSantaScott ala Tom.

CAN!!! pours deep amber hue with nice tan head. nice carmel, earthy, buttery chocolate notes on the aroma. Somewhat like that of old peculier. velvet-y palate with nice earthy tones-some chocolate in the flavors. long peaty finish. very solid Scotish Ale!

Looked like a coke when pouring from the can. Small tan head. Aroma of roasted malts and smokiness. The smokey aroma increased as this beer warmed. Flavors of toffee, malt, and smoke. Light to medium bodied. Long finish.

This may be the best beer Ive had out of a can. How strange. A brownish/black apperance with a moderate head. Lots of nuts and dark fruit in the aroma. The peats are shining through and it bends itself almost sticky sweet. The flavor is full of chocolate, candi sugar, almonds, and raisins. I couldnt drink many of these but at 8% thats probably a good thing.

Dark coffee color, tan head, which starts off medium thick and thins quickly. Aroma of dark roasted malt, resins, and alcohol. Flavor is dominated by sweet malt, followed by roasted malt, and there is a chest and stomach warming alcohol. Great character overall to this beer - very enjoyable.

pint at Taco Mac SS - Aroma is chocolate malt, toasted toffee and carmel. Pours deep brown with a medium head and great lacing. Flavor matches aroma. Palate is creamy and smooth. A very tasty scotch ale.
