Fumo Lento

◎ Appearance

Deep ebony in colour with a soft lustre characteristic of the style. The head is compact and creamy, displaying a hazelnut tone that speaks to the malt composition and suggests good retention. Unfiltered and unpasteurised, this beer presents the natural cloudiness expected of the format.

◌ Aroma

Smoke dominates the aromatic profile, with distinct notes of smoked bacon that define the nose. Behind the primary smoke impression, liquorice and coffee emerge as supporting layers, adding depth and complexity. The base malt contributes subtle sweetness that anchors these more assertive aromatics.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and fluid, led by coffee and liquorice that echo the nose. Red fruit preserved in spirit appears mid-palate, contributing a subtle dried-fruit character and slight vinous quality. The 30 IBU provides restrained bitterness that frames rather than dominates, allowing the malt and smoke to remain central.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium-length, with coffee and smoke persisting gently into the aftertaste. A slight drying quality emerges, balanced by the underlying malt sweetness.
