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.

Amber colour with thin head. It's a malty ale with a touch of sweet whisky. Not brilliant but decent and well balanced. Don't understand the low average score below.

Backlog January 2016. Clear dark brown, almost black body under a dense beige head. Very nice aroma, dark malt, chocolate, expresso coffee. Taste is a disappointment after promising aroma, same elements as malt, chocolate and coffee, but weak and thin. Medium body and short aftertaste.

Bottle dangerously close to its BBF date.... It pours clear golden - yellow with a dissipating white head. The aroma is sweet, floral, lemony citrus, lemonade, honeysuckle and daisies. The taste is crisp, dry, clean, snappy, lemony citrus, Hays lemonade, hint of lime, floral, soda water, dull toasty grain and straw with a dry finish. Light body and average carbonation. No real sign of it not being fresh per se. Simple, but drinkable.
