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.

Bottled. Orangeish amber colour with a mediumsized foamy slightly off-white head, that leaves some lace. Aroma is bready and caramel malts along with some fruits and a big time ginger kick to it. Flavour is strongly gingerish with some mild bready and caramelly notes along with some slight wooden notes. Surprisingly fresh.

Light golden-amber. Aroma is slightly biscuity but generally nondescript. Slightly biscuity, slightly juicy. Fairly refreshing in the finish.

On cask at the Barony Bar. Appearance - golden with a slight haze. A decent head. Nose - nrsad and biscuits with citrus. Like lime or lemon pie. Taste - tangy lime in fact almost lime pickle. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a nice dry finish. Overall - a balanced ipa. Good stuff.

Thanks to Seanyfo for this beer. The beer is quite watery. Refreshing but a bit thin. The mainpart is smooth, bitter, nice Ale-aroma is present. But hops are rare. The aftertaste is long, smooth but only gets fuller in the end.
-> nice. thirst-quencing Bitter. But as it wants to be an IPA, it must be much more hop-aromatic to fulfil this! --> 10/12/8/8
