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

11.2oz bottle as part of a delivery from HoTM, York and drunk at home. Dark, dark brown with a quickly dissipating brown head. Sweet coffee syrup, almost like Camp Coffee, with tar and stone fruit on the nose. Sweet and syrupy at first but turning extremely bitter as you get to the bottom of the sip. Long bitter finish, maybe a touch of liquorice among the coffee and plum. Oily and thick with soft-ish carbonation. An experience!

Poured from 330mL bottle (stamped es.21.04f). Dark brown with beige head. Espresso, light roast and chocolate, mild notes of dark fruits. The flavour balance is quite nice.
