Avery Mephistopheles Stout
A bottle of Mephistopheles Stout from Avery Brewing Company in Boulder, Colorado, at the Blind Tiger in New York City.
Mephistopheles Stout is an imperial stout and this bottle from 2006 had a strength of 16% abv. It poured pitch black with a fine dark brown head. Huge and complex aroma, with a dominating caramel sweetness and a good dose of roasted malts and some dark chocolate. Wonderful! The mouthfeel is equally massive, this is a full bodied devil of a beer! Flavor starts out with a big caramel malt body but with a good coffee roasted bitterness and even some alcohol to balance the sweetness. There are also notes of licorice and dark chocolate in there, making this a big, complex and wonderfully delicious imperial stout with a long bittersweet aftertaste. A world class beer!
