Thanks! Though that's A LOT of peated malt in the Chub clone!

i was thinking the same im probly going to cut that down and soak some oak cubes in a scotch maybe laphroig 10 . just to cut down on the peated malt. but still a peat taste... and a slight oak taste

damn, been looking for the claymore as well... looks like that one is gone form hopville. :/

I've never had old chub, how's it compare to the claymore?

I'm drinking the Claymore right now. Had Chub last week. I may have to go buy some more of the Oskar Blues version - because in my memory they are not very similar. I'd almost say that Claymore is too hoppy to fit in style (like I'm an expert), whereas Chub is hoppier than most other Wee Heavy's I've had - but is still primarily malt driven.

I also do not detect the light smoke flavor in Claymore that I like so much in Chub.

Chub has a slightly higher alcohol content and a fuller mouthfeel than Claymore. I can't find OG's or FG's for either so I can't speak authoritatively - but I feel like Chub has slightly more residual sweetness than Claymore.

All that said - I'm loving the Claymore - just not quite as much as Old Chub.

Sounds like the old chub is going to be worth a blind brew! Thanks for your input!

I'll revive this thread, I am looking for a beer right in line with claymore. I already reached out to great divide but they were no help. Anyone done research on this or is it my turn?
