A beautiful beer
with a wicked, horrid name:
mord und totschlag*!
*(murder and manslaughter, a schwarzbier(sp?) from Kyritzer, gifted to me first by Theo Hollerbach at Magnolia Square Market in downtown Sanford, Florida, just steps from his family’s Hollerbach’s Willow Tree Café. I had been complaining I could not find the doppelback (double bock) Celebrator from Ayinger on his shelves. M&T more than mollified and in a month both beers were on-offer. Bless the man! My dad taught me about San Francisco, California’s Anchor Steam and I instructed myself in Anchor Brewery’s other offerings, especially Anchor Porter, which I place both Mord und Totschlag and Celebrator among my trinity of dark beers. Must-tries, all!)
