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.
