Murdocks' Revenge
Tired of being boondoggled by his "so-called" friends, Murdock planned his revenge.
He concocted this very brew and invited his "friends" to a celebration in their honor. As smooth as a freshly oiled sword they guzzeled this high octane beverage as if it were but a mere "wee heavy". With gullets full and throats tipped back, Murdock produced his knive and slit them from ear to ear! He through the bodies in the loch and never brewed this ale again! Be careful who you choose to "tip back" a few with, especially when consuming this old family recepie.
