sinebrychoff porter ~it’s an “urban sherpa”
Sinebrychoff Porter is a top-fermented dark, almost black, unfiltered beer whose aromas convey a malty toastiness.
The four different malts – pilsner, Munich, brown and caramel
– used in its production give the beer its characteristic aromas: toastiness, chocolate, coffee and liquorice.

WHY I LIKE taking the train —
you see ALL kinds of “stuff”
—————————————————-
Get over the idea
that only children should spend their time in study.
Be a student so long as you still have something to learn,
and this will mean all your life.
~Henry L. Doherty

I am learning all the time.
The tombstone will be my diploma.
