I tried Echigo Stout while working on a sweet paint job in the bedroom that will be my son's when he arrives in 3 months. Holy crap.Back to the beer.
It's ok.
The color is strangely red/brown rather than the traditional black we see with stouts. I could definitely see right through the thing when I held it up to a bit of light.
The nose offered coffee and roasty dark malt. And the same was there on the palate too, but all the flavors were just so subtle that it came off as kinda bland. Just not much going on.
I Found Echigo to be quite thin although it did have a fairly velvety mouthfeel.
It's by no means a bad beer, just not very dynamic. Didn't have a lot of standout character.
5 out of 10.
