Tasting Notes: |
Dark reddy-brown in color with a tan head that goes quickly. A nutty toffee aroma. Flavor is of treacle with a slight sweetness that is restrained due to CO2 carbonation. Moderate carbonation with a good mouth-feel. |
Description: |
This jaw-dropping Scottish strong ale (8% ABV) is brewed with bodacious amounts of malted barley and specialty grains, and a dash of beechwood-smoked malt. Old Chub features semi-sweet flavors of cocoa and coffee, and a wee-bit of smoke. A head-turning treat for malt heads and folks who think they don’t dig dark beer. |
Comments: |
CO2 carbonated version. |
