My german buddy tells me "das boot" means "the boat" like the movie of same name.
Those taller glasses are more fun to watch then use. When you get to the bottom the beer gets a hell of a run at your face. I don't particularly like beer my nose, or up my anything for that matter.
The Boat was a great movie...even better book....but....when the referee in BeerFest screams "Das Boot"...a wonderful joy filled my soul......
