9th August 2024, Margie is at the Shrewsbury Flower Show with four friends; Bertie (my 11 year old Border Collie) and I are having a mini-tasting session together. My brother Rupe brought this 33cl bottle back from a recent holiday in Turkey, sadly he didn't notice it's BBD of 24th July 2024, but it's only just out of date. Anyway it is about to be poured into my lovely thistle shaped 'Gordon' glass at 14:00 UK time. Looks cracking, clean dark brown with a decent foaming head of tight tanned bubbles. Malty aroma with a leather strap or two, taste also malty, some semi-sweet coffee and chocolate notes arrive as it warms in my glass and the head falls away. Liked it, plus this being my 20th Turkish beer I will move onto the top 50 rater's list of Turkish beers.

Last Gara guzu I had a chance to try and it was lovely. Not sure whether it was caused by absence of dark beers in my life for two weeks spent in Turkey, but I've truly enjoyed it.
