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. IBU's 107.

Mephistopheles is the final installment of "The Demons of Ale" series.

So are you cold, tired, and need something to knock your socks off? Who the hell says "no" to that kinda question... even if you don't?!

Whatever the true answer may be, get yourself up to Boulder and kick it with Mephistopheles’ at Avery's taproom (5763 Arapahoe Ave.) between 4 and 7 PM.
