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.

33 cl bottle @ Sankt Hans Tasting, Ulfborg.
Aroma has odd coffee aromas, some grainy malt and minerals. Also hops. Flavour is somewhat dry with coffee, vanilla, grainy malt and some minerals. The coffee aromas are evident and quite unexpected here. Otherwise this is just a basic blonde ale.
