Hitachino Nest Espresso Stout. Coffee + Beer = Sink.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you poured cold coffee in beer? Well wonder no longer. Hitachino Nest has answered that question by brewing up their Espresso Stout. A “Japanese dark beer brewed with coffee beans”. A beer, best described as tasting like rancidity and sadness. Now, I’m no fan of coffee in general, but everyone else who tried this also gave it a resounding “yuck”.
In an effort to brew something that satisfied both the night before and the morning after, they instead created what is officially the worst beer I’ve ever tasted.

I agree, that beer is terribly. What I don’t understand are these:

98???? A-???? Wow. I mean, I like to give the beer world the benefit of the doubt (maybe our bottle was really old), but this stuff was straight nasty by my count. If anyone else finds this any good let me know. Otherwise I’ll be left to believe that the Kiuchi Brewery has a fantastic marketing department with a ton of accounts on beer review sites
