Yorkshire Stingo is a strong beer from the Samuel Smith Brewery. Its name comes from a fashionable slang word of the eighteenth century for strong beer. 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. The beer is not commonly found and is not cheap (at least £5 a bottle).
I love this beer! I think it’s the only bottle conditioned beer that Sam Smith’s do.
I’m yet to open the bottle but I’ve heard that it tastes really good.
I have a bottle of this one maturing in my beer cupboard. I found it in a chain off-licence in Saintfield, iirc. Last one in the shop and yes, it was about £5.50.
