Murky red/brown with a small tan head. Lots of grain and brown sugar in the aroma, I can’t pick out much else. Flavor is toasty, grainy, and sweet. Brown sugar, dried fruit, some coffee. Booze is present in the finish.

Can; Color: Dark coffee, rich, thick and creamy appearance. Aroma: overwhelming malt, hint of coffee. Flavor: is of malt and coffee. The profile is deliciously decadant and creamy profile with an almost chocolatey palate. Rich and absolutely wonderful. Overall, very satisfying!

This is my favorite style. I don’t think enough brewers make a good version of this. But Old Chub is pretty good I must say. Picked up a six pack of cans for $10. Not a bad price. The beer itself is very good. At the risk of sounding ridiculous, I will say that this is my 4th favorite scotch ale. It’s not even close to Backwoods Bastard, but it’s only a notch below Scotty Karate and Dirty Bastard. This is now on my go to list of Scotch Ales, and whether I purchase one vs another will be based probably on price and availability.

Damn! Brewed in a style that is not my favorite, Old Chub is certainly my favorite Scotch-style ale. Caramel monster! Nice smokey hints on the back-end. It already tastes a little oak-aged / bourbon to me, so I bet those versions really bring out those notes. Will have to find those! Must try affordable beer right here! 12oz can into snifter of the highest caliber.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Rich malty flavors with some head and lacing. From the can there was a slight metallic aftertaste. Very nice rich color and the 8% was definitely felt!
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a clear, deep red amber with about a finger of tan head. Aroma of butterscotch, caramel, prunes, corinthians, very light citrus. Taste is light bitter initially before turning a very balanced butterscotch sweet. Body is light to medium and creamy with soft carbonation.

Can at Eulogy - though had a while back on draft at Khyber Pass. Opaque red brown pour with a foamy tan head. Thick dark Scotch Ale. Wonderfully creamy when warm. Dark raisins. Vegemite. Celery seed. Prunes. Charcoal. Very smooth. Quite impressed with a new true variety of a traditional ale. Definitely better warm.
4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Nice aroma - hints of spice, but the malt comes through. Poured a nice two-finger head and left some lacing. Dark, rich red color. Great mouth feel, but leaves an alcohol aftertaste. Overall, very good beer - would definitely drink another.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Cola-colored is right here, this pours a reddish brown with a small tan head. Aroma is slightly smoky but mostly caramel. Taste is medium sweet with not much hop bitterness. Flavors are of peated malt, smoke, quite like a good scotch ale should. Overall my mind is not blown but it is an excellent product either way.
