Hot Espresso (and to an extent, Hot Coffee) will become increasingly bitter when poured over ice. Cold Brew is brewed cold to begin with, so there is no sudden temperature change to prompt the reaction that makes coffee bitter. I love hot lattes made with espresso, but I always make iced coffee drinks with Cold Brew to ensure smoothness without a bitter taste.
Add ice to Americano is fine, but generally speaking I like my coffee as black as my soul

Cold brew. Beer, that is!
Cold brew has a more smooth feel, if that makes sense
