Patrons Project 16.07 // Haze Outdoors // Yorkshire Stingo

Tap to rate

Soft caramel and bonfire toffee sit over a drier biscuit undercurrent, with vanilla, dried fruit and oak from conditioning on ex-whisky wood chips. A Yorkshire stingo at 8.0%, a local style now rarely seen and essentially made by one family brewery in Tadcaster, brewed with 100% local barley including Halcyon, which grows only on one farm in the west of the county.

deep amberpersistent headclear to bright

◌ Aroma

Soft caramel and toffee lead the nose, underpinned by biscuit grain and a whisper of vanilla. Oak from ex-whisky wood conditioning adds subtle complexity, with dried fruit notes—raisin and prune—emerging on closer inspection. The nose is approachable and warm rather than aggressive.

◐ Taste

Sweet caramel and bonfire toffee dominate the attack, supported by a drier biscuit backbone from the 100% local Halcyon barley. Vanilla and oak from wood conditioning weave through the mid-palate, while restrained noble hop character (35 IBU) provides gentle balance. The finish carries lingering sweetness tempered by subtle dryness.
