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.

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.

Nice and round, chunky rich with a subdued hint of smoke, Old Chub is a classic in the making. Very little hopping in this one. Nice and malty. Mmmmmm. Go get some now!

Canned. Dark amber colour, brown mediumsized head. Caramellish roasted malt in aroma. Flavour is toffeeish and roasted malt. Very dry palate. Aftertaste is roasted and licoracyish. Pleasant.

Strong burning maple alcohol malty aroma. Deep dark color with thin lace. Solid malty flavor though a bit flat. Great smoky burnt finish with subtle hopiness. Best beer from a can on the market.
