About
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.

5.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5.5
Medium dark beige head with some dancing bubbles on top. Opaque black body. Syrupy nougat and coffee aroma with perfumy toffee notes. Sweetish chocolatey coffee taste is perfumy and strangely empty after that powerful aroma. Mid-to-light body. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dryish coffee and earth aftertaste with metallic notes. It’s not really bad, but this tastes more like coffee pudding with metal shavings in it than a real beer. (0.33l bottle, Alko Arkadia, Helsinki.)

Bottled 330ml (Arkadia, BB 09/2012)
Dark opaque color, small brown head. Strong aroma of chocolate and cocoa powder. Light bodied, watery for this ABV. Cold coffee, chocolate, toasted maltyness. A bit sweetish finish. Right elements are there, very chocolaty brew, but lacks body and powa.

Half, cask at Henglers Circus. Clear copper coloured body, nitro, creamy head, fragile lacing. Smooth smell of dried fruits. Spiced fruits and juicy malts in flavour added by a nice bitter support. Pleasing (Glasgow, 12.04.2012).

April 2010: Brown 500ml bottle, couldn’t find a best before date. Poured into my huge ’Judas’ glass. Clear amber/orange coloured body, on top sat a large white foaming head. I tried and tried to find a whisky or oak hint in the smells, but only a weak malted barley smell could I find. The taste was fine, a typical English ale, but again no whisky or oak flavours for me, just a pleasant ale. There is a slight whisky feel as the mouth drys but not enough to get excited about. Maybe the flavours were to delicate for me but I still enjoyed the beer. The beer is OK, not sure it is worth the cost, but glad I’ve experienced another whisky beer. I am sure I’ll really enjoy one soon!
