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.

Bottle. Black with a tan head that fades to less than a coat. Aroma of sweet iced coffee. Slightly syrupy with low carbonation. Taste is sweet with some roasted malt behind poor iced coffee and chocolate syrup. Some hops peek out at the end to attempt to clean up. At least there’s a caffeine kick.

Bottled (thanks Tasogare!). Quite much pitch black colour with a small beigeish brown coloured head. Aroma is coffee and chocolate with some roasted notes. Flavour is much the same along with some toffee.

Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW, London. Pours clear russet with a foamy, off-white head. Big toast and leaf aroma with notes of toasty caramel and twigs. Smokey flavor, like cigarettes almost, with light sweetness, faint burnt sugar, wood and ash. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Smokey finish, lightly sweet with some mild cured and burnt meat and burnt sugar. Lasting tobacco smoke. Interesting beer.

Grainy in its aroma and tastes, slightly sour too. Passable but also missable.

Bottle in the hotel room, Aberdeen. Pours black-brown with a small, creamy tan head. Enticingly sweet and roasty aroma, with hints of charcoal and cocoa. Medium sweet flavor, with milk chocolate, modest roast, light burnt earth. Light to medium bodied with fine, smooth carbonation. Sweet, lightly roasty finish, some dark sugars, faint grassy tang, light coffee, faint peat. A decent stout overall. It comes across as just slightly too sweet, but still nice.

Bottle in the hotel room, Aberdeen. Pours clear copper with a fizzy, white head. Modest toasty malts with hints of leaves and fruits in the aroma. Lightly sweet flavor, some slight caramel malts, leafy bitterness. Light bodied with average, tingly carbonation. Light sweet finish, mild dryness, leaves, faint berries. Rather bland overall, but it’s drinkable.
