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 4 (Nov 2008): 15.92% ABV.

Poured black with a small brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, and caramel. Very strong alcohol start and finish with hints of malt and coffee trying to come through but couldn’t. Another Avery brew overpowered by alcohol. I suggest any other stout.

Pours a dense black. A highly bitter chocolate covered in butterscotch. Very sweet, yet retains a dry bitterness. This is like a Fannie-May boxed chocolate soaked in booze. Meet my expectations and beyond.

Bottle from Capones thanks Stegosaurus. Sampled with Dennis Bell. This beer deserves it’s average rating of 4+. It is fantastic. Beautiful pour , excellent aroma, the taste is sweet followed by roast and then this weird internal burn. I love it.

First off, the bottle is horrible looking, the "demon" looks like Batman during his "batsuit with niples" years. Massive aroma lets you know that by drinking this you will be destroying any chances of not hitting a mailbox on the way home because it’s an ABV mack daddy. Oceanaic depths of tastes which don’t really come out until the alcohol has burned away 60% of your tastebuds. But once it does you’ll taste the dark rum and caramel macchiato esspecially. TIP: Buy a 6er drink it in an hour then try and explain to your girlfriend how you go to strip clubs with your friends to so you don’t look whipped. Cause your not...

Jan ’06; batch 1. Fruity nose settling into caramel, chocolate, coffee, toffee, brown sugar, and butterscotch; ABV completely incognito. Black. The mostly lasting stiff brown creamy head leaves a thin curtain of lace. The start is overwhealmingly sweet. The middle is very fruity. Very complex; almost overpowering, with a lingering roasted finish. The full body is chewy and soft. This brew is no joke folks.

Had this right after Alesmith Speedway. (at brunch) Whoa. Pours thick and black like oil! This one gives you the chills a little. intense roasted malts, anise, chocolate and vanilla, alcohol. Its very port like in its sweetness.

Loved it...Wife hated it...It’s a keeper. Had it at The Drafting Room Exton, not sure how long it was aged but really enjoyed it. Would love to cellar and try in 6 months!

yowsers, there’s some punch in this one. Delicious aroma. The flavor is pretty sweet, and warming - but is overwhelmed by the alcohol a bit on the finish, as is the palate.
