Apparently Schenkerla (which comes from the Franken word denoting a certain wobbliness in ones walk, or Schwanken) is available nowhere in Bremen. So in my preparation to taste a Rauchbier, i've just had a Weiherher Rauch.

Kind of sweet smokey. Faint hint of whisky. Will continue the experiment at a later date, in preparation.

For now, Fortuna Düsseldorf 5-0 gegen Karlsruhe, with still 12 minutes to play. Miss Specs wants to wear her cute little red shawl in Bremen's Weserstadion next year. Against my green-white, we'll look like christmas.
