Happy Anniversary

Pliny the Elder
And succulent halibut
A celebration

Pliny the Elder

Photo and haiku by Captain Hops.

References: I was at Henry’s Tavern for my 10th Anniversary last week and finally got to taste Pliny the Elder. It was very nice. I also tried Damnation that night and it was also very good. (Please do not think that last choice was any kind of a reflection on my anniversary.)
