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

33 cl. bottle at Kung Fu II Izakaya Bar, Copenhagen. Near black colour with a creamy, tanned head. Roasted aroma with caramel, chocolate, coffee, red berries, herbal hops bitterness. Espresso beans is clearly present. Taste is bitter. Full body with a creamy, velvet like texture. Soft carbonation. Finishes dry and bitter-roasted. Excellent Stout, good pairing with the rich, fried meat.

0,33 l bottle from drinks-of-the-world.de, 7.0% abv, best before 9/2015. Clear, dark brown to black with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, brown head. Intense aroma of coffee, dark chocolate and licorice with hints of plums. Pleasant taste of roasted coffee beans, dark chocolate, a bit of licorice and plums. Medium long, slightly bitter finish with lots of coffee. Medium body, slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Not the biggest coffee fan, but the slight fruitiness makes this a very tasty beer. Still overrated in my opinion.

33cl bottle at Tuulelohe (Tallinn Airport). Pours close to pitch black with a modest, beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, roasted coffee, chocolate, dark fruits and hints of spices. Sweet, flavourful and desserty. Lovely coffee stout, well balanced and tasty. Quite delicious!

Black with creamy beige head. Roasted, fruity aroma with sweet coffee and milk chocolate. Flavour is similar with coffee slightly more pronounced. Creamy and dry mouthfeel. Nice.

Appearance is very dark, ruby hints, with a foamy light brown head which leaves plenty of lacing. Aroma- loads of coffee, hint of vanilla, dark chocolate, espresso, tiramisu, fudge cake. Taste- big roastiness, masses of coffee- rich espresso, with an underlying toffee/caramel sweetness. Burnt toast, rich malts, dark chocolate cake, excellent- tastes bigger than 7%.

Bottled. Aroma dark roasted malts, pretty intense. Very dark colour. Taste is strongly coffeeish. Rather coffee dregs than fresh espresso, but nicely fruity nevertheless and full of dark roasted flavours. Very good.
