Beer Name: Hitachino Nest Espresso Stout (#42)
Style: Stout
Country: Japan
Size: 11.2 oz bottle
ABV: 7.2
From the book:
The combination of Black, Caramel, Roasted and Chocolate malts provides the big coffee flavor in this stout. The strong espresso character comes from the addition of espresso beans in the boil. The base recipe for this beer is that of a Russian Imperial stout which lends to the aroma and flavor of black currants and dark fruit.
Oh man, this beer is fantastic. Instead of tasting like beer that has coffee flavors, this tastes like coffee (espresso, to be precise) with beer flavors. So good. I will definitely hunt this one down for home consumption in the future.
9/10
