3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tap at Eastburn, PDX, 25/05/13.
Dark mahogony brown with a good sized light tan head.
Nose is dark malt, wood, dark toffee, soft bourbon notes.
Taste comprises toffee fudge, caramelised sugars, subtle bourbon notes, woody tones.
Medium bodied with bite, soft carbonation, light boozey notes in a sweetish finish.
Decent enough, barrel ageing is definately the way to go with Scotch ales !

16 oz. aluminum can given to me by stevemastny at DLD 2013- thanks a ton, Steve! Unlabeled except for a small white sticker that read: Oskar Blues Wild Turkey Barrel Old Chub. Pours a hazy nut brown color with a small beige head. Whiskey barrels are undeniably present on top of brown sugar, nuts, vanilla, toast, and an oaky/peaty note. Medium-bodied, with moderate carbonation and a sweet, malty mouthfeel. Very good.

Tap at The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours very dark brown with a creamy tan head. Aroma is quite bourbon. Med + body. Flavor is sort of wee heavy mixed with bourbon. It is very smooth. It is quite tasty. If beer is liquid bread, what is this?

Tap @ Colorado Craft Beer Kickoff Week at Falling Rock. Pours a murky, reddish brown appearance with a small tan head. Whiskey, oak, vanilla, somewhat boozy, a bit herbal aroma. Flavor is boozy and whiskey forward with some light herbal hoppy elements and some caramel notes. Not my favorite as it was strong on the finish and quite whiskey forward.

Sample FOBAB ’12 - Love me some Old Chub, so couldn’t pass this one up...deep mahogany pour with thin tan head - aroma is whiskey (much more forward than the Ten Fidy also being poured), hint of peat, roasted malt, and a general sweetness - good overall. Flavor is similarly strong on the bourbon side, with a good level of roastiness, and a slap of smoke. Palate is medium to full bodied - much thicker than your average scotch ale. This one was good, but not something I’d really seek out again...
