Hitachino Nest Espresso Stout

Poured a nice black hue with a moderate tan head with decent retention.Aroma had a good coffee note and some cocoa. Flavor seemed to have a good mix with nice roasted coffee notes and some cocoa. Finish was smooth. Really light though.

This poured a nice opaque black with a big tan head. Aroma was really roasted, coffee notes as well. Flavor was was really dark and roasted, but not overdone, rather smooth hints of chocolate. This one has a great balance of coffee and sweetness.

Bottle. Pours deep dark black. Huge roasty aromas along with coffee & chocolate. Taste is roasty, chcolate, coffee, hints of vanilla. Nice mouth feel . Nice beer

Bottle. Poured black with a brown head. Aroma consisted of alcohol and coffee notes, quite acidic. Flavor is nice and full of dark espresso notes which leads to a quite acidic beer. Quite one note but I still enjoyed it.

Nice coffee flavor. More espresso with a little bit of bitterness in the body. A good round beer with a chewy body, almost.

Bottle: pours dark black with a frothy tan head, aroma of coffee and spices, taste is coffee, malt, chocolate, some bitterness, fairly thin mouthfeel for a stout but it is well balanced.

Opens with notes of espresso, chocolate and a bit of spice. Pours a deep black, opaque. Large bubbles with high carbonation. Deep mahogany head with little retention. Opens with caramel and coffee. Sweet with balanced bitterness in the middle and a long finish that sticks to the palate. Mouthfeel is medium high thanks to the carbonation keeping it sprightly. This is an excellent blend of espresso and beer. The balance is great and doesn’t give you that coffee overkill! The sweetness keeps it tasty and makes you crave another drink.

brown/black pour, mocha notes compliment the thick espresso taste, there was a grittiness I wasn’t expecting, but overall, strong stout with heavy malts and a borderline bitter finish. only for coffee stout lovers.
