Evenin' kiddies! The Meista (and his brother Daino) here with a kick-ass pairing tonight... the brand-spanking new Dream Theater self-titled album and a Full Sail Imperial Stout from their Brewmaster Reserve 2012 line!! This one goes out to Ryan! Cheers you crazy bastard! (We actually don't know who the fuck Ryan is, but he posted some cool shit about this brew on the Beer Advocate website: http://beeradvocate.com/). This also (and more importantly and sincerely) goes out to my progressive metal brother in arms, Jeff Turner!! Cheers buddy!!
"Dream Theater" by Dream Theater is the 12th studio album and was released September 23rd, 2013. Very Rush-esque, this album is a beautifully executed progressive metal piece. Masterfully written, "Dream Theater" is probably their best album in the last 10 years. It feels very "stream of consciousness," very introspective, very progressive in approach. What can I say about this album? "Amazing" is an understatement! Here's the track list:
| 1. | "False Awakening Suite"
| |
| 2. | "The Enemy Inside" | |
| 3. | "The Looking Glass" | |
| 4. | "Enigma Machine" | |
| 5. | "The Bigger Picture" | |
| 6. | "Behind the Veil" | |
| 7. | "Surrender to Reason" | |
| 8. | "Along for the Ride" | |
| 9. | "Illumination Theory"
| |
Pour: Ink black, thin mocha head, virtually no lacing
Smell: Black licorice, big bourbon notes, dark chocolate (definitely says Daino), Fig Newton, molasses, a very subtle Walnut note
Flavor: Espresso, chocolate truffles, baked fudge, raisin, Fig Newton
Finish: Very dry, coffee really comes out in the finish
The beer is epic, the album is even more than epic!! Hell yes!! Cheers!!
