Hitachino Nest Lacto Sweet Stout

Brewed by Kiuchi Brewery
Style: Sweet Stout
Ibaraki, Japan

A pitch black beer with a slight brown shine, telling that it is hazy, and with a thin brown head on top. The flavor is very lightly sweet, while the flavor is sweet with a roasted character, and a slightly dry end. The body is thin. I think this should be listed as a milk stout rather than a sweet stout. Thanks KP.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pours a hazy, reddish brown with a light brown head. Aroma of sweet and lightly burned malt. Medium body with some roasted malt and notes of sour milk. No real bitterness. 160806

Bottled, thanks marbles! Black, no head. Sweet, creamy and light bodied. Quite chocolatey. No bitterness. Similar in style to the Maltese milks stout.

Bottle. Weak, roasted, bready aroma. Black colour, small light brown head. Slightly roasted, smokey flavour. Thin mouthfeel. The flavour is a bit sourish, cannot taste any lactose.

Bottle. Clear brown coloured with a beige head. Light roasted aroma of ruits with notes of overriped fruits. Acidic flavour of prunes and liquorice with light roasted notes.

Rating: 1.6/5.0
Score: 4
-------- /> The score was calculated based upon the notes and an old scoring system.

Fizzy, diminishing head atop dark red-brown body. Vinous aroma of toffee, soy sauce; unfermented wort on the palate, sweet sugariness, definite acidic bite. Watery texture, quick finish.

Dark black brown body with a couple of floaties. Big tan foamy head on the pour. As it dissolved it made the soda fizz sound. Aroma is chocolate, milk and faint lemon. Flavor is chocolate, a lemon presence stronger than in the aroma, roastiness and lactic acid. Aftertaste is faint but roasty, though it gets distinctively sour as it warms.
