Frostbite

BBD 12-28

The first sip is soft and inviting: a dark whisper of liquorice that slowly opens up on the tongue. A warm peppery touch follows, like a light touch that lingers just a little longer than expected. The caramel melts smoothly through it, round and syrupy, as if the beer gently envelops you. The sweet echo of sweets, dried red fruit and a hint of citrus moves playfully through the aroma, warm and slightly tingling. Meanwhile, chocolate and mocha provide that deep, velvety layer that gives the whole an almost enveloping character. It feels compact and full — a beer that doesn't rush, but slowly draws closer. The alcohol-warming glow builds like a calm, sensual heat rising from the chest. Spicy and piquant notes follow, subtle but present, as if the beer knows exactly when to challenge and when to soften. The finish is long and smooth: sweet at first, then elegantly drier, a flavour that lingers like a lingering touch.
