Poured from a can into a cup. Dark red beer with nice head. Has Carmel taste and is a pleasant drink. 8% alcohol is nice.

Dark brown with reddish hues, off white head. Caramel notes, some spice, molasses. It’s think on the palate for this style, which is very enjoyable, some quick sweetness comes through, and the finish is dark and dried fruits. The body on the beer is what really shines.

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.

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.
