Just have to say, these guys are probably my favorite brewery in the last year AND naming a beer after this incredible (though extremely challenging) album. Love it.
Pretty forward dark malt here, outdoes the rice and hop, though doesn't take it too far, I don't think. Mineral, ash, cocoa...very rich, as it should be for one of the strongest beers they make.
Soft base malt/rice sweetness with chocolate/dusty cocoa throughout. Like the aroma, you can tell they went pretty hard on the dark malts. That said, it's not burnt/stale/tannic. Tastes almost stout-like but for the lack of fruitiness. Bit of toasted rice on the end and maybe a dab of herbal, grassy hop. Somehow this feels like it has less flavor than most of their 4% abv beers. Or maybe just the relative lack of complexity, given the somewhat dominant dark malt. Gets a bit unbalanced (sweet) as it warms.

Can from Tavour. Pours dark brown with a huge foamy tan head that did a bit of a Guinness. Aroma of chocolate and some rice. Med body. Flavor is chocolate and rice. Not getting anything else - grain wise. There are some light grass/spice notes. Tastes something like an English dark mild.

Tavour: pours black with beige head. Aroma is lightly roasty, bready. Wonderful mix of dark maltiness and smooth rice lager notes.

16oz can from Tavour. Dark brown pour clear, thin, tight off-white head. Sweet and roasty aroma. Taste is light roast, chocolate, sweet, cocoa powder with a touch of bitterness at the finish. Really smooth and really tasty.

16 oz can. Aroma has notes of chocolate malt balls, dark bread. Pours dark brown with a one finger beige head with good retention, settling into a skiff of foam eventually. Taste is sweet and roasty with some mild bitterness around the edges, finishing dry.
