Life of Mephistopheles started long time ago, when we were still homebrewers. We made a small batch of imperial stout back in December 2015. Then we forgot about it. Then we opened our brewery and in March 2016 brewed another imperial stout and one more in April. We barrel aged them in wine barrels (Pinot Noir and Bluefranconian French oak barrels) for a year. Because barrel aging takes time and u cant barrel age imperial stout for less than a year unless you are a pussy. And then we blended and bottled our 2015 and 2016 stouts together. And then we aged them for you in bottles until this moment. Because we know you're greedy fuckers and couldnt wait that long if we would've released them earlier. Oh yeah and did we mention it has 14% abv.

Pours nicely black, little bit of foam. Big red wine smell. Nicely thick mouthfeel. Taste is very deep, tons of licorice, with a super dark cacao aftertaste. Lingers for ages. Red wine shines through lovely. Super complex. Mad.
