The Kiuchi brewery is a great Japanese brewery, making a small selection of craft brews and most well known for Hitachino Nest White Ale. Here’s my review:
Pours smooth, black liquid with a capping of finely bubbled foam.
Gives off aromas of sweet chocolate, caramel, vanilla, coffee.
Light carbonation on the palate gives a prickle that leads to a sweet yet bitter dry cocoa, espresso and chocolate flavor mid palate followed by more coffee, some vanilla, and a caramel sweet finish.
This stout has a lingering stick, is sweet and slightly bitter.
Very drinkable stout and is very versatile, even good in warm weather.
Style: Milk Stout
ABV: 4%
Cheers!
