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

Sweet flavour of roasted malt, caramel, dark fruit, chocolate and vanilla with a bitter coffee finish. Medium body with a creamy, smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Tasty.

Rating # 2500. 33 cl bottle @ home, bbe May 2016. Black color. Uneven light brown head. Aroma’s of red fruit (candies), with some coffee. Much more (ground) coffee and roast retronasal, some sweetness, some fruit. Flavor is only light sweet, roasted, light roasty sourness. Light to medium bodied. Finish is roasted, coffee, a bit dry, but hardly bitter.

Bottle from Cornelius. Black body with a thick tan head. Good lacing. Aroma of coffee beans, cocoa powder and charred wood. Flavour of creamy chocolate, berries and a tangy espresso. Medium body with a slick texture. Soft carbonation. It doesn’t quite have the depth and richness I was hoping for, but this is a solid beer.

Bottle from Borough Wines, Kensal Rise/Queens Park, consumed at home cooking a LambTagine Monday 30th May 2016 Pours black with a tan head, the aroma is a little bit beefy, not getting so much coffee on the nose. However in the mouth the coffee shows, there is a nice cool cappuccino flavour going on, it’s creamy, not too roasty a nice beer. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov15 3.7

Super Stout. Zlozony, niesamowity i wyrazisty. Zblizony do RIS. Ciemne czekoladowe i smoliste piwo z ciemno bezowa spora kremowa piana, trwala w dodatku. Slodowosc, nuty palone, słodycz i wytrawna palonosc na przemian się uzupelniaja przy każdym lyku. Oleista struktura, lepkie, trochę jagod i owocow leśnych, jeżyny. Bardzo dobry zlozony Stout. Polecam

Shared by Jan, thanks. Lightly lacing, creamy, pale beige head, blackish robe but actually dark burgundy, translucent in the end. Lovely aroma of indeed espresso, bitter chocolate, cocoa nibs, vanilla, roasted peanuts, ’natural’ iron, fig, bayleaf, dried blackberry, dry earth. Soft, clean, restrainedly sweetish onset with equally soft sourish and umami flavors, some dried fruit, softish carbo, full and somewhat oily body, nutty and toasted malt bittersweetness evolving into coffeeish roasted bitterness in which the espresso is well integrated: both interact and the latter provides a wonderfully spicy, aromatic coffee bean sensation, carried upwards by some warming, brown rum-like alcohol; a bit earthy and ever so slightly metallic as well. Very well crafted stout and surely the best Japanese beer I had so far.
