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. Weak, sweet, dried fruit aroma. Very dark brown colour. Almost no head. The flavour is sweet with an acidic feel, turning dusty and creamy.

Malt and green apple aroma. The flavour has some of the same characteristics, with a good bitterness. Rather one-dimensional.

(Bottle 50 cl) Comes as: "Wallace Monument Traditional 80/- Ale". Slightly hazy amber golden with an off-white head. Somewhat unclean malt aroma. Light-bodied with some tartness and some earthy notes, sort of like elder flower. Distinctly smoked accents and a bitter finish. Odd to have a Bitter with peat smoke being the dominant flavour. More like a Scottish Ale really? 170107

A nut brown beer with a red shine under a huge brown head. The aroma is sweet roasted with notes of nuts and caramel. The flavor is sweet with a slightly acidic roasted note, that also has light notes of chocolate and hints of over ripe fruit. The end is dry and a bit bitter with a slight burnt note. The body is a bit thin.

Cask handpump, Market Porter. Chestnut colour. Terrible aroma. Farty. Some fruit in mouth. It’s not that good to be honest.
