I wrote up notes for Oskar Blues Old Chub. AFAIK, Oskar Blues was the first micro in a can (Dale's Pale Ale). Old Chub is a Scottish Ale weighing in at 8%.
The Old Chub pours dark brown with deep red highlights. It has a good sized, tan head that quickly goes down to a film.
Its aroma is roasted malts, with hints of chocolate and figs.
The taste is sweet, chocolate malts initially with some hints of fig. It has a bitter, slightly acidic, coffee-like finish. The mouthfeel is nice and creamy, leaving a sticky residue.
Overall, a nice, well-balanced, scottish ale. Definitely the best beer I've ever had in a can.
