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.

Jolie bière dont l'alcool à 8 % confère un bon tempérament, cette Yorshire Stango possède de plus de beaux arômes avec une bonne complexité autour de la fraise, de la banane, du caramel et du girofle. Côté visuel nous sommes sur un brun limpide surmonté d'une mouse blanc cassé de 3 mm. Si vous rajoutez une bonne présence en bouche et une longueur très honnête, vous avez de quoi vous faire plaisir!

Közepes, tartós hab, rezes szín. Karamelles, enyhén fűszeres, hordós illat. Karamelles, vaníliás, fűszeres ízek, hordós aromákkal. Kissé édes, közepesen testes, enyhén szénsavas, enyhén keserű. Finom, jól összerakott sör, ha nem lenne ilyen erős, kiváló ívósör lehetne.

opalescent amber colour, medium sized creamy beige-ish-yellowish ecru head; aroma of raisins, dried apricot, canned apple and pear, some honeycomb toffee, orange zesty and biscuity-caramel notes; taste of malty sweetness with dried fruity and orange zest notes; good one - original score: 8-9-7-8-8-8.0; re-rated on 26 Apr 2025: ok, this batch was just horrible: some leather, soy sauce and disgusting rotten notes - I am seriously disappointed! :(
