Oskar Blue's: Old Chub (Scotch Ale/Wee Heavy) 8.0%

Drank From: can, poured into a pint glass

This pours very dark brown with heavy tan head and little lacing/retention. I smell a lot of malt, sugar and booze. The taste is toasty and sweet, but not overpowering. I am impressed with the mouthfeel. I was expecting more chew-spit, but this is actually rather medium and drinkable. This has a mild bitter, hoppy aftertaste that adds to the complexity. This isn’t a style that I love, but this beer is a solid representation for sure. 

My Rating: B+/3.95
