Nope. We have a small, cramped apartment that we have long grown out of. I've broken both pinky toes twice in that place. But this last one was killer - the whole top of my foot turned black.

I'm clever, but not THAT clever ...

Non-Denominator Doppel Bock is dark brown in color with a rich creamy tan head. There is a definite toasted nose and bold malty character. The flavor will be powerfully malty with a mild dark roasted malt character from the chocolate malt. The hop flavor and aroma are kept in the background intentionally, we didn't want to interfere with the big maltiness. The hop bitterness will be evident and help to balance the sweetness.

Yeah, "Non-Denominator" - that's great. So what would you call your own doppelbock? I'm gonna need some time to think about mine...

For me, I reckon since I'm always being told I look like Mike Mills - or more recently, with the beard, Trey Anastasio - I'm gonna go with Impersonator.

Cartoonistrator's out too then, I suppose.

I could make a super strong one: "Obliterator"

I could brew one with my girlfriend: "Adulterator"

I could due a hurricane releif package: "Alligator"

Stop me now.

Randy - you should know this as you drink enough of the stuff. It is wort It is pronounced wert not wart as we are talking about brewing and not dermatology. And as MM says, you pitch the yeast - 'nuff said.

MM - "Illustrator" is to obvious for Randy and you are giving me "Defibrillator" - can't you do better than that?

Of course Dirty Frank's is the all-time champ downtown Philly corner bar, where you're as likely to get nurses as bikers as closet queens.

I would be highly remiss if I didn't mention that an unknown benefactor surprised me with a wonderful volume of stories. Nicely designed, it has come from a very high quality publisher, from whom I am expecting nothing but good things.

I easily blew through the first 30 pages or so. It has a very Vonnegut-ese / Bradbury-an vibe to it. D'Wife actually considered shutting off her "daytime dramas" to read it. She couldn't get it away from me.

Thanks so much.

The Hoffman book is already back at the library.
