About
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.

Pours copperbrown with a steady head. Malty aroma of caramel, brown sugar and dried plums. Pretty sweet flavour with notes of syrup, dried plums and a little bit of liquorice.

Ein recht bekanntes Bier 🍺 in Europa, das ich aber erst jetzt bemerke, wo es mir meine Tante aus einem Automaten in Vorarlberg mitbrachte.
Es ist ein hübsches, tatsächlich nussbraunes 🪵 Bier mit mäßigem Nussaroma 🥜, dafür aber intensiv malzigen 🥞 Körper. Dadurch wird es schön vollmundig, aber auch recht süß 🧁.
Ein Bier für Leute, die es nicht so bitter, aber trotzdem tiefgründig mögen und die sich an Malzsüße erfreuen.

Pours a dark ruby red, brown with a medium retention head. Not much on the nose: malts, nutty, hint of caramel. Same on the mouth: dark malts mostly some nuttiness. Fitting carbonation. Not that exciting: good maltiness but not much else. Balanced but a bit watery. Very drinkable. Could have done with more sweetness or more hop flavour.
