Description
Many moons ago, in the black of the night, Viking invaders were about to attack our hometown of Stirling, when a howling wolf alerted the defenders, who saved the town. We raise a glass to that wolf. The Black Wolf.
Started brewing in January 2004 using the name City of Stirling Brewery. It was initially a sister brewery to Bridge of Allen and Trossachs Craft Brewery. During late 2005 a new company was formed to allow further investment and the brewery name was changed to just Stirling Brewery at the same time. The name then changed to Traditional Scottish Ales Ltd in 2006. The name changed once more in 2014 to its current version.

Bottle care of Danny. It pours clear yellow with a medium white head. The aroma is sweet, buttered white bread, floral, white sugar and honey suckle. The taste is smooth, soda water, white bread head, straw, grass, minerals and generic grain with a short, dry finish. Light body and average carbonation. Basic soda water lager.

Bottle shared in London - thanks to Daniel. Pours clear yellow with a bubbly white head. Dusty pale grains in the nose, straw, light cereal. Light sweet flavour with some biscuit, more cereal, husky grain, faint lemon peel. Light bodied with average carbonation. Lightly sweet on the finish, with more pale grains, cereal, straw. So so.

500ml bottle from Lidl - Reddish amber body with a small white head. Nose is malts, toffee and red berries. Taste is a spicy mix of digestive biscuits, malts and toffee. Not too bad.

500ml bottle from a Co-operative store in Kirkwall. A bright golden body, dissipating white head, rings of lace down the glass. Smell of cereal and distant leafy hops. Modest taste profile of leafy hops and grainy malts. Short-lived bittersweet ending. Soft carbonated. Rather thin bodied and slightly anonymous (hotel room at The Shore, Kirkwall 13.04.2016).
