Some of the oak casks at Samuel Smith’s date back more than a century with the individual oak staves being replaced by the Old Brewery coopers over the years. Gradually the casks soak in more & more of the character of the ale fermented in stone Yorkshire squares. Yorkshire Stingo is aged for at least a year, matured in these well-used oak casks in the brewery’s underground cellars deriving fruit, raisin, treacle toffee, Christmas pudding and slight oaky flavours, before being further naturally conditioned in bottle.
Releases: 2009, 2011, 2014, 2015, 2016. Please note: Stingo has the year brewed on the back label. Due to barrel aging & bottle-conditioning, the release year is one year after the year brewed.

Bought on-line, drank at home. A decent pint, definitely one to be sipped slowly on a long winter night.

Аромат странный и слабый, немного горячи и специфических ягод и сухофруктов. Цвет и пена просто топчик, эффект лавины в самом лучшем проявление. Вкус поярче, сначала обычный солодовый, далее очень странная горечь, вроде травянистых лекарств и ягод вроде клюквы и брусники. В целом немного не мое, хотя и новый опыт.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Wonderfully malty aroma with lots of rich caramel and toffee notes. Also a bit fruity with raisins, some oak and toasty/nutty nuances. Medium sweet with a mild bitterness, lightly sticky. Very nice!

Bottiglia. All'olfatto si esprimono sentori di sottobosco. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Il colore è ambrato carico tendente marrone. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è di media potenza. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è intenso. In bocca l'aroma è quello di miele, frutta secca, agrumi, arancia, frutta passita, prugna, rabarbaro, cherry, vino rosso, burro, pepe e chiodi di garofano.

Amber, clear with a medium light brown head. Aroma of caramel, wooden barrels, sweet malt and fruit sense. Light bitter with a wood barrels, fruit and caramel end. When I drink this, I think of Ye Olde dark wooden British Pub somewhere.
