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.

A brown beer with a fine disappearing beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel and roasted bread. The flavor is boring, slightly sour, dry hoppy as well as some orange peel.

Cloudy amber beer with a reasonable head. The aroma and flavour are basically sour, which after a while you get use to. Overall a poor beer.

Tesco Bottle Cracker malt and mild aromatic hop aroma. Orange brown, low creamy head. Quite fruity flavors (peach,apricot, apples), cracker malt and pine hops - quite nice. Slightly fizzly mouthfeel, fruity aftertaste.

Cask at the Ipswich Beer Festival 2004, gravity dispense. Colour is black / dark ruby. Lovely aroma of dark fruits / prunes, English pipe tobacco, chocolate and coffee. Flavour is roast barley and oats on a surprisingly fruity background. Very drinkable. Fruity aftertaste - not what you expect from a stout, but nice! (And the beer is vegan - as if I cared!)

Dark ale with a frothy light head and hopped roasted aroma with a slight caramel flavour that has a dry hopped flavour. Overall a good Scottish ale.

Lighter amber, clear; white head gone in seconds. Herbal, sweet nose, musty as mannah or suchlike. Sweet, spicey taste with faint gingeraroma, sugary but not cloying. Rather full-bodied, in the way of worts. And that's the impression this beer gives: like partly fermented beer. Not very impressive.
