*evil grin*
During my University days, some of the most fun we had was introducing American students (yep, there were always a few in Freiburg...) to "Salvator" beer, a seasonal specialty from Munich:
The Paulaner Salvator with its strong,typically malty taste is the original Paulaner. The bottom-fermented Doppelbock-Bier unites the finest hops and dark barley malt. The Paulaner monks served Salvator as a replacement for food at Lent. Their most famous brewer was Brother Barnabas, who was the head of the Paulaner monastery brewery starting from 1773. Its original recipe is today almost the same as it was in Barnabas' time. In order to protect the original recipe, Paulaner had the trade mark "Salvator" patented in 1896.

Folks that were raised on Budwater (and have 5 years to catch up, as in Germany it's legal to buy beer at age 16) usually tended to be VERY happy after the first and pass out after the third.. :lol:
Note that it has 1.5 times the alcohol content of a regular Bud (twice that of Dud Light) and almost twice the calories.
I saw it in a rather well-stocked shop in New York City last time I visited the US, but I gotta admit it was obscenely expensive there...

With magic, you can turn a frog into a prince...
With science, you can turn a frog into a Ph.D. ...
and still keep the frog you started with.
