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.

12 oz can Nose is almost savory; doesn’t really hint at the taste to come. This is fantastic - sweet, malty goodness with flavors of cola, caramel, and much more. Remarkably smooth, and the alcohol is extremely well disguised. Really enjoyed this.

oskar blues proves that good beer can be found in a can. it tastes a little metallic but the other flavors are great! nice carbonation and deep reddish brown color. when it’s cold it tastes like apple cider. as it warms up it tastes more and more like scotch. mmmmm

Malt, caramel, chocolate on nose, not particularly pleasant, wierd toasted quality, and a dusty smell (?!?). The appearance is deep amber/brown, like cola, thin off-white head. The flavor is very chocolate, some caramel, hint of smoke, much more enjoyable tha the aroma. The mouthfeel is decntly thick/medium The finish has light smokiness, toasted malts. Not bad, but not totally enjoyable.

poured dark brown with small white head that faded relatively quickly. smelled of sweet brown sugar and a bit of alcohol and tasted about the same.

Can from Whole Foods (Bowery/E Houston). Dark brown body with thin head. Malt and scotch nose. Syrupy taste of chocolate, malts, toffee and dark fruits. More chocolate in the finish. Quite nice.

Pours a deep ruby red with a medium head. The aroma is chocolate some mild fruitiness and some smokiness. The flavor is earthy with chocolate and some nice bitterness. The sweetness is there but it is well controlled and there is plenty of roasty maltiness. The palate is viscous and smooth.
