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.

I enjoyed Oskar Blues Old Chub Scottish Ale from a hand pump at D.B.A. in New York. This is a very creamy and smoky ale with tons of roasted malts. The color is a deep brown / almost black with a light mocha head. The aroma is sweet with tons of roasted malts. The finish is very smooth and makes me want to continue drinking all night. This is a fantastic ale!

Yum, like candy in a can. Malty, peaty, smoky (campfire, not cigar), and sweet, very lightly carbonated (pours almost flat, and not a lot of fizz on the tongue out of the can), and packs a wallop. Tread lightly with this one - you don’t taste the alcohol, but after two or more, you’ll feel it.

My favorite Scottish ale. Pours a very dark brown with a dense head. Great caramel malt tast with a hint of smokiness. The finish is smooth with a hint of hops that nicely balances the malts.

Can: pours dark brown with tan head that retains. Man this is a good beer. Caramel, coffee aroma with a hint of smoked malt. Taste: I love the sweetness of this and how it is the strongest taste. It consists of a smoked caramel taste with a slight vinous feel. Light carbonation which add or subtract to/from your preferred palate . I think the light carbonation makes this ridiculously drinkable and uh, my head noticed the 8% alcohol.

I’ve never been that into scotch ales, or anthing that appears to be one, but this one is pretty damn impressive. Pours dark and smooth. Very strong aroma of smoked malts. The flavor has quite the kick to it. Caramel and roasted malt. I questioned the whole beer out of a can thing but I’m glad I tried this one.

Cola-colored brown with ruby highlights. Nice off-white head that diminishes to a small ring. Smells of big, sticky malts - caramel, peat, smokey wood, and a touch of alcohol. Flavor is more of the same plus stout-like roasted bitterness and coffee in the finish.

Rerate: On tap at the Tasty Weasel in Longmont on 7/16/09. Pours a nice dark copper-brown. Incredible caramel aroma that carries into a nice malty sweet flavor. Touch of bitterness on the tongue, then a wonderful sweet caramel finish. Very smooth drinkable brew.
