3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20Old Chub pours a slightly hazy reddish brown with a thick head of small tan bubbles. Nose is a blend of lightly roasted malts with some sweetness that is reminiscent of caramel. Taste is medium dry with hints nuts and caramel. Finishes with some mild bitters. Body is silky with just a bit of bubbles on the tongue. Very solid beer. Alcohol content doesn’t hurt either.

Old chub is very thick and pretty sweet. This sweet flavor is balanced perfectly with a slight smoke flavor.

A - Pours a dark brown with garnet highlights. 1 finger of tan head that sinks pretty quick.
S - Candied raisins, toffee malt, nutty almond yeast, tree sap, alcohol, very rich aromas.
T - Sweet off the top, toasted brown sugar, molasses, toasted cocoa, mellow smokiness, toasted brown bread, some minor fruit in the middle. Brassy edges with a kiss of woody bitterness on the finish.
M - Full bodied and slick with foamy carbonation.
Very rich and full flavored. They do a good job of making it taste older than it is. Stale but very full if that makes any sense. A great beer to sip slow.

Draft pours a dark cola brown with an inch-tall super creamy head. Hard to get an aroma. Taste is heavy malt with a bittersweet caramel finish. Decent but not something I'd seek out.
