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.

12oz can. very dark brown, with a 1/2 inch tan head. Strong sweet aroma, with caramel, roasted malt, and nuts. Flavor is again sweet, with oak, nut, caramel and some peat. Full bodied and delicious. Really tasty.

Alder smoke aroma with some underlying alcohl notes. Glorious and deep red in color with a thick beige head. Chocolates and cherries dance around in this melangeof tastiness. Very creamy with some toasted butterscotch. Though not my favorite style this is quite well done.

Some caramel and toast in the aroma. Light smoke, some plums and a hint of cocoa, moderately sweet with a touch of hop bitterness in the finish.

A medium to dark Brown color, loads of bubbles stick to the side of the glass. Smallish tan head. Nice lacing. A sweet malty scent, prunes, coffee, brown sugar...sweet, candy sugar, light roastiness, cocoa a slight bitter follow. Quite tasty, thanks Josh!

Pours a mahogany color with a tan head. Aroma is of smoked and toasted malts, and a little hint of alcohol. Sweet flavor with smoked and toasted malts, and dark fruits. Finishes a little bitter with a hint of of some alcohol warming.

Dark black beer. 1 inch tan head. Smells like caramel roasted malts. Tastes like dark roasted malts, chocolate, caramel, toffee, and is just all around delicious. Having the luxury of having all the Oskar BLues brews in a can is a dream come true. We can now drink quality beer out of acan. Wow! what an idea. The texture is medium light, which is just grand. This is a delicious beer, a great meal replacement, and a sure winner out here on the ocean.
