What about the beer?
Colour is black with a tiny beige crown. Aroma has roasted malts, dark chocolate and liquorice. Taste starts with powerful roast and sharp biting bitterness. Charred-roasted malts and heavily bitter thick coffee take over with some dark chocolate and liquorice side tones. Near the finish roasted and slightly sweet bitterness becomes the leading flavour. Aftertaste has lasting strong roast and burned dry bitterness.

Powerful, strong-flavoured Imperial stout. Pure and clean heavy roast shows the power of malts. Continuously strong biting bitterness shows the strength of hops. This is something amazingly unusual and great.

If we should cure a beer lover from an Imperial Stout allergy, this would either do the trick or kill the patient. That's exactly why this song with a somewhat dark message fits with the beer well.
