Beer 342 - Oskar Blues Old Chub Scotch Ale (3 stars out of 5)

Brewed and canned at Oskar Blues Brewery, LLC in Longmont, CO.  Bought at Randall's Grocery while shopping for Zone bars for Sofia to take to Colombia.  Drunk at home in Katy, TX while preparing dinner.

The web site says: "

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 a skim-milk mouthfeel, semi-sweet flavors of cocoa and coffee, and a kiss of smoke. A head-turning treat for malt heads and folks who think they don’t dig dark beer.

While Dale’s satisfies our hop addiction, Old Chub takes care of our deep affections for malt. The cola-colored beer (almost black) features a tan head, a creamy, skim-milk mouthfeel, and rich, semi-sweet flavors of caramel and chocolate throughout. The addition of smoked grains gives Old Chub a delicate kiss of smoke on the finish.
Old Chub is the beer equivalent of a lightly smoked single malt scotch, or your favorite dark chocolate. We call it Rocky Mountain Mutha’s Milk. People who tell us defiantly, “I don’t drink dark beer,” often fall deeply in love with Old Chub. We can’t blame them."

A very nice beer, that had good flavor and was enjoyable while I prepared and cooked vegetables to go with dinner.  Good enough to come back to.
