Oskar Blues Old Chub

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

Pours out of the can dark brown with a medium tan head. Molasses, prune, raisin, roasted nuts, and some earthy spice all contribute to an inviting aroma. Mediu to full body that is smoot and luscious. Sweet caramel flavor that is nicely balanced by some peppery hops leading to a surprisingly drier finish than I would have expected. Another winner from Oskar Blues.

Pours a nice dark brown, almost black. Aromas of chocolate, with hints of nut and smoke. Flavor is a nice creamy chocolate with a bittersweet aftertaste. This is one hell of a beer.

Can at the local watering hole. Wow, a very different kind of beer. Pours from the can a dark brown color with a tan like head. Heavy scents of roasted malts and a touch of caramel and chocolate that carry over into the flavor of the beer. This beer kicked ass.

I truly believe this is the best brew you can find in a can. This brew pours very dark and has a small, but lasting head. Lacing is present but not huge. Definite chocolate, cherry and deep fruity notes in this beer. Alcohol is present but not overwhelming. This is definitely my favorite brew you can find in a can... by far. If you can find this brew then I HIGHLY recommend trying it. You can find it in cans everywhere in CO, but you can also find it on tap at the Yard House near Colorado Mills on the west side of Colfax near Golden CO. YUM!

Sweet, creamy, malty goodness. Very delicious. Not much hops. The complex, smoky, nutty malt character makes this beer more than hint at the character of a stout. Very yummy.

12oz can shared with Matt7215 and his brother, Matt’s can (thanks Matt). Pours a nice dark mahogany, with a small off white head. Aroma is really really nice! Major peaty malts, like big time, and not much else, but what’s there is so damn good smelling you don’t really need much else. Flavour is like a punch in the face with peat, but for some reason you welcome the hit! But in all seriousness, huge peaty, chewy, delicious malts with a great full body to it, pretty smoky too. Maybe my sensory perceptions were off, but I would have bet money that this was only 5% abv, it hides the alcohol THAT well. Man, seriously good stuff here! Maybe it really appeals to the Scottish in me. I wish I could get this all the time around here!

12 oz can. I’m drinking this beer out of the can (at the moment), so I can’t comment on appearance. Flavor wise, beer sort of reminds me of Pepsi. Caramel, little chocolate and roasted malts are present. This is a really tasty beer, no matter what vessel it is served in,

12 oz can from a trade with franknbeans. pours reddish/brown with a small tan head. big dark fruit malt aromas with a touch of smoke, not to much but enough to notice. flavours are a malt tooths wet dream. complex malt structure without being overly sweet. very enjoyable sipper.
