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.

Many thanks to Sean for this bottle. The beer starts grainy and fresh, malty-smooth with hints of fresh floralness. Malty-grainy in the mainpart, but not too intense. A bit too sweetish malty for me, not much bitterness in the aftertaste.

Many thanks to Sean for this bottle. Fresh and floral beginning. Lots of floral fresh hops with hints of pine. Round and smooth, hints of wheat and nice grainy sweetness. The aftertaste is fresh and smooth, round and nice!

Cask at the Prince Albert, Ely. Mid-gold, clear, a bit of tightish white head. The smell is floral and slightly medicinal, with a suggestion of whisky. Bittersweet taste, incredibly malty. Sweetish malty finish. Not a great beer really, but drinkable. It grew on me a little bit over the course of the pint, but I ordered a different beer for my second.
