a beautiful beer
with a wicked, horrid name:
‘*mord und totschag!’
*(when I – after the fifteenth time! – asked after my favorite Ayinger bock beer Celebrator, Magnolia Square Deli (part of The WillowTreeCafe complex in downtown Sanford, Florida) owner Theo Hollerbach introduced me to the superb ‘Murder and Manslaughter’ schwarzbier, whose chocolate notes and rich drink-with-fork-and-knife toothsomeness, I have launched a partial forgiveness program – that is, until just before Christmas I found both Mord und Totschlag AND Celebrator on the shelves! Sort of wreaked havoc on the shopping list as I seemed to have funds only for one giftee – me! )
