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.

On cask at the White Lady. Appearance - deep amber with a nice head. Nose - toffee and light chocolate. Light biscuit too. Taste - caramel shortbread. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - fairly rich and fairly refreshing. Good.

Cask at Abbot Cook, Reading. Yellow-amber with a thin white head. Lot of caramel up front with some wee and lots of green leaves, possibly old lettuce. Lasting unpleasant mineral bitterness. There’s some lemon in there too, admittedly, but it’s lonely and feels rather threatened by the other nasty flavours crowding in around it. This is not a nice beer.
