Konbanwa! I am the darkest and most dashing of all Hitachino owls, known as the Espresso Stout – a brew birthed from Russian Imperial Stout tales, enticed to your world by coffee's enchanting whispers.
My plumage, deep as the starlit night, dons a crown of mystery. Enwrap yourself in my aroma, a kimono woven with threads of chocolate, roasted tales, and the playful essence of dark fruits. With each sip, relish my flavors of caramel, roasted delight, black richness, and chocolate sweetness, a charming portrait of coffee-infused joy on your palate.
My secret lies in Japanese espresso beans, rousing notes of vanilla, dark fruit, cocoa, and chocolate from slumber. Our journey concludes with a graceful, slightly bitter finale – a tribute to Saphir and Northern Brewer hops' artistry. From Naka city's heart, I bring twilight's spirit. Kanpai to our shared love of the dark!
