Hitachino Nest Espresso Stout
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

Bottle. Fresh ground coffee beans, chocolate, beany moccha, tart taste, blackcurrant, blueberries, roasted wafers. Decent though a bit rough mouthfeel and the coffee has a bean/capar touch.
Great coffee flavor but can be a tad overwhelming.

I drank this one for a long time but not review about this one finally this is a good time to drink this one again.
This beer is lead tasting with coffee taste then coming with some of malts, caramel, a hint of burnt, a little bit of dark fruit and brown sugar and yes this one is dry finished.
Easy to drinking for who wants to try stout.
Very nice one and also notable stout from Japan.
Copenhagen 17/12 2017. 33 cl bottle from Mad & Vin, Magasin, Kbh. K. Cute red owl surrounded by brown and yellow whirlpool on the label.
Pours opaque dark dark brown with light beige head. Settles as thin patch of foam. Remnants of yeast floating around in the beer. No Lacing.
Aroma is sweet and intense on a heavy bitter background. Sweet Cocoa and brown sugar dominated with heavy coffee giving a Sound base.
Medium carbonation and thick, oily texture.
Flavor is medium to strong sweet balanced by coffee bitterness. Lingering bittersweet Aftertaste.
A perfect fit for a piece of chocolate after dinner. Well done.
330ml bottle from Beerhawk online shop (£3.69):
Dark & opaque, bordering on black with a thumb-sized, bubbly beige head that's turns to a patchy surface lacing. It's sweet on the nose, almost like a foreign extra stout that has some vanilla to go with the coffee & darker malts. Dark fruits with an alcohol backing follow whilst the taste is mainly coffee & chocolate with the usual dark malts & sugars too. It was well-carbonated & slightly fizzy with a medium body & semi-sweet finish.
Strong mocha scent, bit of viscosity, goes down easily though with light coffee bitterness. Consistent flavour, slightly astringent aftertaste that lingers for bout 15secs, coffee taste stronger up front than chocolate but nice mild mocha throughout
Bottle at home. Jet black pour, beige head. Nose is, well coffee. Taste is... coffee. Also some earthy notes, low fruits, nuts. Long lasting, slightly bitter coffee finish, light to medium body, soft carbo. Nice coffee stout.

Bottleshare at We Brought Beer, Balham. Dark brown. Aroma is soy sauce, acidic, savoury notes. Super thin and this huge sour bitterness that sliced through everything. Earthy finish.
En copa, cerveza negra con una fina capa de espuma beige. Aroma a café torrefacto, cacao puro, cereal muy tostado, notas lácteas, caramelo, y algo de vainilla. En boca, textura espesa y oleosa, de carbonatación baja y amargor típica a café. Sabor a café cargado, junto con cacao, cereales, caramelo, leche, bizcocho y galletas. Una Stout cargada de café torrefacto y notas de cacao que se asemeja más a un capuccino que a un espresso. De cuerpo sedoso y dulce, fácil de beber y sin presencia de sus 7% de alcohol. Totalmente recomendable.

Birra fantastica dal birrificio fra i pionieri dell'artigianale in Giappone, merita come tutte le birre.
Fles gekocht in Luxemburg, geprobeerd met Roelzie1986. Het is een donker zwart bier met een dun schuim. Het heeft een gebrande koffie achtige geur. De smaak is gebrande koffie, chocolade en bitter.
330ml bottle at home. Dark brown, nearly black with a thin tan ring. Roasty dark malt with plenty of coffee and semisweet chocolate. Low-medium carb, full body, medium rich texture. Slightly tangy, dry chocolate and roasted malt finish. Excellent.
Dark brown with a frothy light brown head.
Smell of a malty coffee. Same with a taste, coffee with malt. Medium carbonation. A tasty beer.
Almost black with medium brown head. Unroasted coffee beams aroma. Strong bitterness with espresso taste, also remarkable sourness bit later. Lasting bitter aftertaste.
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.
Nera con testa nocciola dalla buona persistenza. Profumo di caffè, cioccolato al latte, frutti di bosco, vaniglia. Al palato vengono ripresi i sentori olfattivi con un finale di cenere e liquirizia. Retrogusto pulito. Corpo medio, carbonazione troppo elevata che “rovina” la bevuta.
Like a weaker goose.
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!
