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.

Bottle, thanx to Maria. We found it in her lovely beer-cellar, and it was past it’s BB-date, and she had already had it, so she gave it for us to take back to Norway. Clear, golden ale with a nice, dense, lasting off-white head. Lightly citrusy nose with some cellar. As it was past BB-date, the cellar in aroma and flavor is ignored when rating it. The flavor is quite fruit dominated, with malt and bitterness to fill in. The mouthfeel is a bit soapy. Decent body. A quite quaffable beer. (070527)

Cask at Jyske Øldage in Horsens, 2006. A hazy orange beer with a thin orange head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel and spices. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of spices, reminding me of a Belgian beer.

Bottled. Transparently near black, no head. Aroma of coffee and menthol. Fairly sweet with rounded, plastic mouthfeel. A bit strange. Flavourwise it’s kind of void, and the malt profile is bold. Light peppery finish. Not at all as good as the cask version.

Dark ruby brown color, very small off-white head. Mild roasted coffee beans aroma, a bit ashy too. Cold coffee and ash are in the flavor too. Decently strong aroma and flavor for 4.5 % beer, reminds me about Daleside Porter and Chocolate Stout.

Well first off im not a whisky fan, but this is a real interesting beer, Its a nice golden amber colour, with a distictive whisky aroma, the flavour is of a half decent whisky thats been diluted just a touch too much, but diluted with a light fruity carmel malt ale. There no doubt in my mind i would have scored this wonderfully interestign ale higher if i enjoyed whiskey.
