espresso stout

For many, coffee is not just a stimulant, it also makes them happy. The preparation alone is like a ritual: the mahogany-colored beans are ground in a fragrant process, you spoon the aromatic substance into the portafilter, mocha pot or paper filter and then impatiently wait for the water to become the finest coffee, as if by magic. You can enjoy the energetic result with an airy blob of milk foam, add glittering sugar crystals or drink the shot as it is. Coffee is wonderfully bitter, chocolaty, velvety soft, full-bodied - pure magic!

The brewers at the Japanese brewery Hitachino Nest Beer are also enthusiastic coffee aficionados. They live out their love of the deep black brew with daily coffee breaks and an aromatic beer. In addition to a full 7.0% alcohol content and steep 36 bitterness units, your espresso stout brings the soul of freshly brewed coffee into your glass. The strong roasted aroma and the sensual coffee note are due to the use of roasted barley and coffee beans. These exquisite ingredients have been combined with four different types of malt and Chinook and Kent Golding hops to create a sensual brew.

Hitachino’s Espresso Stout is a dark, opaque beer that smells and tastes of melt-in-the-mouth chocolate, powerful espresso, creamy caramel, vanilla, cocoa, candied red fruit and full-bodied roasted malt.
