Collaboration No. 3 - Stingo was brewed using traditional English ingredients. A variety of ale and specialty malts from Yorkshire are at the forefront; their pronounced roasty aroma and flavor contain hints of toffee, cocoa and bread crust. English hop varieties contribute subtle herbal, peppery qualities. The beer was brewed in batches; some was fermented on oak, some was fermented normally, and some was allowed to sour in the mash tun before being transferred to a fermenter. Batches were then blended until desired levels of wood and tartness were achieved for the final product.

Sample during the "Collaboration Beers On Deck 2!" event on 08/13/2017. Cloudy dark reddish-brown color with a medium off-white head that diminishes steadily to an outer ring. Partial rings of lacing. Aroma of roast malt, spice, malt and hops. Medium body with flavors of caramel malt, banana, spice and mild earthy hops. The finish is fruity with a grainy malt aftertaste. Decent overall.

Craft Islington bottleshare. Thanks to Leighton. Hazy deep amber beer, tidy cream colour head. Palate is light and dry with decent fine carbonation. Airy malts, a little cream. Tangy fruits. Spicy bubblegum esters. Tangy fruity finish. If this is a tribute to Sam Smith Stingo, well it’;s a nice thought but not a patch on that beer.
