Description
Yorkshire’s Oldest Brewery. Samuel Smith brews a wide range of high quality beers, solely from authentic natural ingredients. The brewery still uses stone Yorkshire squares to ferment all its ales and stouts (except Sovereign and Extra Stout) and the same yeast strain has been used since the 1800s. Whole dried English hop varieties such as Fuggles and Goldings are used to add bitterness and aroma to Samuel Smith’s traditional ales in the antique boiling coppers. Samuel Smith’s uses oak casks for all its naturally conditioned ale. The casks are made and repaired at the Old Brewery by the brewery’s two full time coopers.

Best before December 26th 2025.
Pours a clear reddish gold, over a finger of foam and lacing is very good.
Smell is caramel malt, slightly nutty, hoppy in a Brit kind of way.
Taste is pretty well balance between hops and malt. Sweet with Fuggle and Golding hops doing their thing.
Bitterness level is very comfortable.
Good mouthfeel, excellent beer but Belgian Strong Ale is a big stretch.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso viene attratto da luppolo e caramello. La finezza olfattiva è normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma dalla buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido appare limpido e anche qui la grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il colore è ramato. Il corpo è medio. L'amaro è deciso. La forza gustativa è normale e permane in maniera sufficiente. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di caramello, miele, pane tostato e luppolo.

Bottle at home. Aroma is roasted malt, liquorice, caramel, dark chocolate, espresso, touch of raisins. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter. Body is medium to full. Not the most full-flavoured Imperial Stout, but it has great drinkability and I can see why it’s a classic of the style.

Bottle from Stanislaus Brewskovitch, Zwolle. Aroma is malt, caramel, toffee, nuts, and a hint of cocoa. Flavour is medium sweet and light bitter. Body is medium. Nothing spectacular, but pretty decent Brown Ale.
