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

Tap at True Brew Mito. Black coloured with small golden head with big bubbles. Aroma is smoky, lots of coffee and cocoa. Taste is espresso. Lots of bitterness, particularly at the end. Totally roasty. Nice oliy texture and pleasant spritziness. Hints of caramel in the taste once you get used to the bitterness, and a bit of smooth milk chocolate too. Lovely.

Bottle, thanks PotjeBier! Deep dark brown color. Malt, indeed espresso and a hint of cacao in the aroma. Malty sweet, soft roasty espresso flavor with a hint of licorice. Raisin. Pleasant.

Black beer, good beige head. Smells of dark chocolate and liquorice. Lively, but rich. Dark chocolate, bitter coffee, a little anise. It's not a complex stout but it's a lovely rich stout.

Black pour with a fine beige head. Good lacing also. Looks nice and inviting. Pleasant intensity in the aroma. Also a fine mellow carbonation level. Pleasant mouth feeling. Balanced sweetness. Dark malt, roast, chocolate, espresso and toffee in the flavor. Ok complexity. [Bottle from Mjorud]
