Dogfish Head makes a line of beers that are "paired" with specific songs. I have already talked about Robert Johnson's Hellhound on my Ale, which is really tasty, but I consider this to be even better. Miles Davis' Bitches Brew.
While the style is considered to be an Imperial Stout, the honey and gesho used in the brewing process give this beer a really unique, delicious flavor. Gesho is also known as shiny-leaf buckthorn and is an African shrub. I would not have known that if not for a combination of wikipedia and some home brew forums. I completely understand why it is a hard task to pinpoint the flavors in Bitches Brew. It is a great beer and it is worth a shot if you can find it.
Also, Miles Davis is just awesome.
Glassware: Tulip, Goblet, Snifter
Synonym Beer: I can't get anything that is really close enough.
