Samuel Smith’s Yorkshire Stingo is a oak aged and bottled conditioned ale of note. Some of the oak casks at Samuel Smiths 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 and more of the character of the ale fermented in stone Yorkshire squares. Yorkshire Stingo is matured for at least a year in these well-used oak casks in the brewerys underground cellars deriving fruit, raisin, treacle toffee, Christmas pudding and slight oaky flavours, before being further naturally conditioned in bottle.
