Jun 11, 2008 Draught: This one pours a darker reddish-amber color. It was fairly clear with a decent off-white head to it. The aroma was mainly caramel malts. There was possibly a hint of fruits and some spicy hops. The taste is decent enough. A pleasant caramel malt body with a hint of bitterness. A decent drinker.

Apr 17, 2008 Bottle at the Cigar Bar. Went there ’cuz I heard they had Mephistopheles, but my dreams were shattered. I wonder how the hell they got this beer? Pours half an inch of head that reduces to a couple centimeters. Spotted lacing with a copper color. Nose is crispy and light with toast and grains. Green apple, bread and a hint of green grape in flavor. Very malty with a metallic aftertaste. Heavily carbonated with a light/medium body. Kinda tasteless, but I WAS in a cigar bar. A decent session brew.

Nose was malty, caramel, and lightly fruity. Flavor was malty, caramel, light fruitiness, and light hops in the finish. Smooth mouthfeel and light-medium body. Very quaffable, easy drinking, would be one that if it were available in my area I would keep an adequate supply of as it’s a nice beer to have when I’m in the mood for a nice, easy drinking beer.
