Oskar Blues Old Chub - Scottish Style Ale

Smells sweet, like chocolate cake. Big syrupy mouthfeel; reasonable carbonation, though. Sweet caramel, touches of chocolate, slight fruit in the finish. Heavy, but alcohol is well hidden, and it's still quite drinkable (though as it warms, the thickness can get a little cloying).

I've repurchased this a number of times, and have found that while I enjoy it, not every beer geek I meet does, and it goes over terribly with non-geeks, probably due to the thickness. Recommended, but don't bring it to a party.
