First brewed as a love letter by Steam Machine's Nick to his Turkish wife - and the brewery's co-founder - Gulen.
When realising that Turkey had no native beer styles, Nick set out to amend that with several creations. This was the first...
A decadent milk stout, compounded with real cacao, and authentic rose oil, to provide the luxurious taste of Turkish Delight.
Originally released for Darlington Beer Festival, and the first beer to sell out there

Panda at home, thanks to the Bearded Avenger, 26/04/2026.
Lighter shade of black with a khaki cap that thins to the edge.
Nose is chocolate shavings, dried red berries, dark malts, light perfume.
Taste comprises chocolate, light roast, charr, candied fruits.
Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a lick of booze.
Okay sipper and you get a bit of Turkish D but it's struggling to pull clear of 3rd gear as impy stouts go.

Bottle from the Fellowship of Beer. Pours cola brown opaque. Thin foamy beige head disappears almost instantly. Aroma has cacao and a rose sweetness but the core is bitter coffee and liqourice. Flavourwise it's sweeter than the aroma suggested it would be. Molasses and floral notes. Develops a cacao and espresso bitterness. More floral/fruity than bitter but not overly sweet or perfumed. Light-medium at best. Slick. Very thin for the style. Soft-average carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Nice.
