Cask Conditioned air pressure Euston Tap London. A black beer with a little tan coloured head. This is coffee dominated as supposed to chocolate, both in the aroma and mouth. Bitter roast and chocolate makes a sneaky appearance late on. It has good length and is tasty but there is a misnomer thing going on.
