“Murder And Manslaughter”

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!)
