Loved this beer! Drank from the can, so appearance rating is dead center. Hey, they went to alot of trouble to get it into the can, so why not use it? Also their little blurbs on the can lead one to believe they intend for you to enjoy it from the can. Hard to get a read on the nose through the little hole in the can, but I did detect some sweet malt and caramel. The taste is incredible - chocolate, coffee, toffee, sweet malt syrup...not really scotch ale territory in my opinion, but hey. Pleasantly thick in the mouth, almost comforting. I found this to be very drinkable - a dangerous trait in a beer with 8 abv. Go git yo' self some.

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.
