poured into snifter, just about opaque and black. Stout-like with a red tinge around edges. Deep sweetness on the nose, black cherry if you will, other dark fruit, just a tad of caramel latte and cream. For taste, a bitter sweet burntness, a slight booziness, lots of caramel malt. Coats the palate, goes down smooth and creamy. I almost grabbed ten fidy until I saw this, and being a scotch ale fan, had to try it at this price. Doesn't disappoint but I prefer certain others.

Oskar Blues Old Chub has a thick, creamy, beige head, lots of splotchy lacing, and a semi-clear, rust color. Aroma is of rich, smokey, sweet, fruity malts, and the flavor is of roasted, fruity barley malt, sweet, brown bread crust, and some caramel. Mouthfeel is medium to heavy and slick, and Oskar Blues Old Chub finishes wet, rich, and decently drinkable. The alcohol is not present in the taste, but shows up in one’s body (warmth) as the beer is drank down. Overall, this is nice, and I highly recommend it.
