Commercial Description:
Mephistopheles is the crafty shape shifter, the second fallen angel. Amazingly complex, coal black, velvety and liqueurish, this demon has a bouquet of vine-ripened grapes, anise and chocolate covered cherries with flavors of rum-soaked caramelized dark fruits and a double espresso finish. Mephistopheles is the final installment of "The Demons of Ale" series.

Batch 1 (Jan 2006): 15.1% ABV.
Batch 2 (Nov 2006): 16.03% ABV.
Batch 3 (Nov 2007): 16% ABV.

Batch 2: Pitch black with thick brown head. Weird looking - bubbles inside of bubbles. Something already indicated that this was serious. Aroma was burnt malts, hops & alcohol. Sweet sugar, roasted malts coffee/chocolate & dark fruits. Alcohol is extremely well hidden. Only light burn. Soft & smooth carbonation. What a well balanced & tasty beer!

Bottle. Black colour with a light brown head. Lots of taste, lots of different aromas. Slightly alcholic finish. Strong, but very good.

Jakebra crush. Black like death. Feel the alcohol burn all the way down. One intense mofo of a beer. Flavor hides the alcohol, lots of dark fruits. One hell of a kick. Awesome brew.

First impression: Me, I like it! Dark, dark coloured, black. Light brown head, mostly lasting. Aroma has lots of dark malts, coffee, chocolade, a bit laqurice. Strong flavor, long lasting. Heavy sweet and bitter, dark and roasted. Full bodyed, ceramy, heavy warming alcohol.

Pours black with a small dark brown head. Strong aroma of booze, raisins, coffee, and some slight chocolate. Flavor follows the aroma quite well with lots of raisin and coffee, a bit of vanilla, and warming alcohol.

Draught@EBF 2008. Jet black, Low tan head. Dark roasted malts, alcohol, dried fruits, licorice and bitter chocolate in the aroma. Taste has a strong and sweet roasted malt base with a rummy accent. Coffe, chocolate and charcoal is there too. Thick texture, big body. Alcohol in the finish. Extremely powerful, and a little rough around the edges.
