Caramel, roasted, black and chocolate malts provide an explosion of coffee like flavors.
The strong espresso character comes from the addition of espresso beans to the boil.
Notes of vanilla, dark fruit , cocao and chocolate.
The very unusual character of Hitachino Nest Espresso Stout stems from the fact that Kiuchi Brewery is using the recipe of a Russian Imperial Stout as base.
Pitch black color, big brown head. Aromas of chocolate, roasted bitterness, black currants, dark fruits.
Hop: Chinook, Kent Golding
Malt: Pale, Crystal, Black, Chocolate
Others: Roasted Barley, Coffee beans
SRM: 100

Bottled. Poured incredibly dark w/almost no head. Smell was strong and coffee and so was the taste. Alcohol was tastable.

Incredible amount of strong dark coffee with sweet cocoa powder, and light grassy hops. Regular mouth feel, and carb. The finish is super roasty, with another incredible amount of cold coffee with a hint of cocoa sweetness. A superb stout.

Bottle from Hopt. Aroma is formidable roast with beany coffee, roasted and burnt malt, espresso, some chocolate and liquorice. Flavour is quite bitter and roasty with a medium sweetness. Body is medium. Impressively roasty with lots of coffee, quite good!

Отличный классический стаут. Аромат сильно кофейный но при этом не очень приятный. Симпатичная кофейная пенка. Вкус довольно резок, собственно сам Эспреессо с няшной этикетки. Также чувствуется слегка жженая карамель. Послевкусие плавное, кофейное.

A deep dark stout with a very thin mocha head. In aroma, sweet fruity chocolate malt with dark fruits, light coffee notes, light cereals, pleasant. In mouth, a nice chocolate malt with loads of coffee grind, musty character, pleasant and rich. On tap at Taps Beer Bar.
