Frosty Window

◎ Appearance

Deep amber to mahogany hue, unfiltered and unpasteurised, presenting a soft cloudiness that catches the light. A dense, tan head forms on the pour with good initial retention, fading gradually to a persistent collar with fine lacing around the glass. Carbonation is moderate and even, supporting the visual weight of this full-bodied brew.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with warming dark malt sweetness—brown bread and caramel notes—layered beneath which sit candied stone fruits and a gentle dried plum character from the Belgian yeast. A bright thread of fresh orange peel cuts through the richness, providing immediate lift and complexity. The yeasty undertone is earthy and soft, never solvent-like, grounding the sweeter aromatics.

◐ Taste

Full and voluptuous on entry, with deep malt sweetness—honey, brown sugar, and toasted grain—establishing the beer's foundation. The mid-palate reveals ripe stone fruit and a subtle dark fruit depth that mingles with orange citrus notes, creating a complex, slightly spiced character. Bitterness remains restrained at 22 IBU, present enough to balance without asserting dominance, allowing the fruity-sweet interplay to persist through to the finish.

◑ Finish

Medium length and warm, with lingering malt sweetness and a gentle dark fruit echo. The aftertaste dries slightly, leaving behind a soft spiced warmth and a whisper of candied citrus.
