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.

Not sure why I haven’t rated this one yet... maybe the first really good beer I ever had from a can. I had it on tap the other day in South Pasadena at Gus’s BBQ. Dark orange amber color with an off-white head. Interesting malt complexity - bready with a sweet nuttiness. Some faint pine hop aroma which I assume lends to the sweet/bitter finish.

Can from my bro Neil! (Thanks!) Very dark brown amber pour, little carbonation and plum/malty aroma. Flavor is rich silky malts, chocolate, caramel and finishes sweet, a little smoky. Very good.

Pours a very dark copper with a tan head. Mild aromas of caramel, cereal, flowers, and pear. Round malty sweetness with a nuttiness, sharp fruit, and a strongly herbal and spicy finish that invites you take drink more. The middle notes seem almost metallic at times. Medium body with prickly carbonation. Not what I was expecting but not bad either.

17th September 2008. Dark brown clear ale. Aged malt flavour but not too ’wee heavy’. Tangy malt and a mild chocolate and malty finish with just a touch of fruit. Low carbonation.

Dark and cloudy caramel color with not much head. Aroma is faint at first, but as the beer warms, I get caramel, cinnamon, and some chocolate. Flavor is crisp and dry, with the caramel and spices coming through even stronger. Fizzy mouthfeel. I like this one a lot. I’ll have to get it more often.

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.
