What about the beer?
Colour is black with a small beige head. Aroma has chocolate, sweet
coffee, roast and a drop of bourbon vanilla. Taste starts with sweet
malty chocolate. Sweet coffee, dark chocolate and spicy roast take over
with a boozy layer on top. Towards the end sweet
chocolate-spicy liquor and roasty bitterness rise up. Aftertaste has
bitter roast, sweet chocolate and gently spicy bourbon.
Wow. We've reached the point where beer turns to art. Fantastic Imperial
Stout! Beautiful balance between bourbon barrel aging and sweet
chocolate-coffee flavours of a great standard impy. Growing bitterness
decorates the artwork. Pyynikki brewers truly show
the divinity of craftsmanship with this one - top 2 Finnish beer. Huge
thanks to Tampere!

A world class brew I wish the world would know about requires to be paired with a song by a world class rock band I wish the world would know about. Forgetting the borders, politics and shit. "Save yourself now / You've got a mind all of your own." Powerful, aggressive and beautiful from the beginning to the end - like the beer. To be perfectly honest, I think Cold Kingdom are much closer to the goal, so there's the challenge to Pyynikki brewers: get there first. And no, Diablo is not my thing.

From the 2015 album The Moon and the Fool, the song was written by Cold Kingdom.
