Cask at the Euston Tap, London. Pours a clear, golden-brown with a creamy, white cap. Plenty of nuts in the nose, some coffee and toasted malts, interestingly enough. Light sweet flavor, lots of straight nuts, some hazelnut and almond more specifically, bit of brown sugar and mild earth. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Light roast to finish, yet more nuttiness, mild sugar, some dry roast bitterness, light earthy and herbal hops. Nice.
