Hitachino Nest Espresso Stout

4 oz. taster at Seattle IBF. Pours black with a brown head. Aroma is purely fruits, roast, and alot of graininess. Flavor is hoppier than expected, roasty coffee, pretty dry. Mouthfeel is a little too thin, medium bodied with lots of carbonation.

Pours black with foamy tan head. Amazing aroma of roasted coffee, vanilla and chocolate. Very smooth drinking, strong espresso flavor. Can’t find another bottle of this soon enough!

Really? The aroma smelled of cheap coffee. Appearance was black with mocha head. Flavor has cheap coffee flavor and a hint of chocolate. Palate was bubbly. Not impressed. Overrated in my book.

Strong flavor, strong aftertaste. This is a heavy beer. One to sip and savory. Very good but a little overpowering for me.

Black oily body and massive lasting light brown head. Smell of coffee, caramel, and roasted grains. Tastes like dark chocolate, sweet malts with a heavy coffee roast. Glorius! Chocolate and coffee rule supreme. A very thick rich palate, medium finish.
