No light penetrates the Espresso Stout in my pint glass. There is a thick, tan, foamy head that is slowly shrinking; not much lacing though. Coffee and rich, dark chocolate dominate the aroma with the taste being mostly strong dark coffee with bitter dark chocolate. Hitachino Nest has brewed a very pronounced malt bitterness into this imperial stout. It also has a thick, luscious body that caresses the tongue.

While the drinking experience lightens the blow of the higher cost, this is an indulgent treat, IMO.
