What about the beer?
Colour is nut dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma has sweet caramel, dark fruits and malts. Taste starts with sweet malts and fruits. Caramel malts and sweet dark fruits take over with raisins and berries. Towards the end sweet fruits and berries get on top with some alcohol bitterness. Aftertaste has fruity sweet bitterness and some warming alcohol.

Sweet and delicious Doppelbock for warming up the cold winter nights. Malt and fruit flavours join to make a tasty treat. Vakka-Suomen Panimo seems to be the right Finnish brewery for German-style beers.

If the was any consistency in the beer and music pairings, the right kind of choice would be a sweet soul or an spicy r'n'b song. Nah, consistency is boring. The brew is not, and neither is Rammstein.

From the 2001 album Mutter, the song was written by Rammstein.
