Pours a very dark brown, rust color with a small, frothy tan head. Very malty aroma, both sweet and roasted with a little bit of coffee. Very creamy body. Flavor is a little light, mainly coffee with a little smoky wood flavor. The finish has a slightly oily feel somewhat reminiscent of scotch.

The smells, tastes and appearance of old chub all remind me of sensations I might experience while walking through the study of a retired general––dusty, leathery, and smoky, with just a hint of chewing tobacco and a mildly astringent finish. The flavors are straightforward. This is not a deep beer, but it has lots of character. In short, it tastes and smells like old man.

Jul 22, 2008 THOUGHTS: Great beer from a can. Just about as good drank from the can as from the glass. Hid alcohol incredibly well.
TECHNICAL: Can. Poured a very dark red that was almost brown with nice carbonation and a small, light tan head that mostly diminished. The aroma was moderate caramel, milk chocolate and cocoa powder, smoke and slight cola. There was also alcohol as it warmed. The initial flavor was light to moderately sweet; while the finish was moderate to heavily sweet and lightly bitter with an average to long duration. There was caramel and chocolate malt, some slight cherry and then smoke. the medium body was creamy with soft carbonation and a chalky, moderate astringent and light alcoholic finish.

Jul 22, 2008 Awesome, Awesome, Awesome! What a great beer! I really enjoyed trying this one. In fact, I wanted another as soon as I finished. I was really surprised to get such a great flavored, nice body beer out of a can!

Jul 22, 2008 The can is misleading of coarse. Poured a murky brown. Malty caramel aroma. Tastes the same, with some toffee, light amount of chocolate. Finishes a little smokey, oak barrelly. Warming alcohol at the finish. Quite a surprise, excellent.
