Quote O’ the Day - ‘distilled essence of Satan mixed with the tears of orphaned children’

I ran across this quote in a web article from Relevant magazine. In the article the writer speaks of trying to be “hip” by asking a couple of beer connoisseurs for a brew he should try.

“What beers do you have that exhibit subtle nuances and complexities?”

He grudgingly suggested a particular brand that he assured me had a hint of raisins. This sounded delightful! I could certainly get on board with subtle hints of raisins! I ordered my beer and proudly returned to my table, ready to imbibe it in full view of my new role models. My induction into their coven was at hand.

As it turned out, what was supposed to be a smorgasbord of raisin-y goodness was actually the distilled essence of Satan mixed with the tears of orphaned children. It was hands down the most detestable thing I had ever willingly put into my body. The taste was something akin to filling your mouth with dirt and leaves and then being repeatedly kicked in the face.

Despite all logic, I continued to drink this horrible swill, each sip causing my apparently “untrained palate” to weep quietly, wondering what it had done to deserve such punishment.
