Zıkkımm - Zifiri - Dark Ale (Turkey)



Another dark beer from Zıkkım. Again, it is in the style of an imperial stout. However, the alcohol content is low for an imperial stout, but a bit high for a porter or stout.
Another nice beer for those who enjoy dark beer. Particularly important as it is made in Turkey. I also recommend this beer to beer lovers, especially those who enjoy dark beer.

Alc (ABV): 6.2%
Score: 8/10

Gara Guzu - Karlı Kayın Ormanı - Dark Ale (Turkey)



Entering winter, on a cool day, I decided to open a beer to give meaning to it, and I drank Gara Guzu's winter beer, Karlı Kayın Ormanı, on a rainy day (Shouldn't it be "Garlı gayın ormanı"?)
Winter Ale is one of the types that I like. Gara Guzu's version was a bit challenging for me to drink. The bitterness of the beer was excessive (not hop bitterness) and I think it was too carbonated. I was expecting a smoother beer.
The alcohol content, color, and density were good. If it is fresh, I will try it again.
You can find this beer at @mensismahzen. Price: 18 TL.

Zıkkımm - Deep - Dark Ale (Turkey)



I couldn't understand clearly what kind of beer this is. I recognize its smell, but can't pinpoint it. It could be a type of Belgian beer. The label on the bottle doesn't specify the type. I also couldn't find a beer type with cardamom in it online.
Instead of focusing on the specific type, let's interpret it in general. It is nice that it is high in alcohol content; it reminds me of a Belgian beer, so it might have a sweeter taste. It could also have more carbonation and foam. The flavor is strong.
If you want to try it, it's a very unique beer.
You can find it at @mensismahzen. Price: 17TL.
