Wer den braunen, reichlich süßen Saft einmal zu sich genommen, z. B. in jenem uralten Metkeller Wiens, dem »süßen Löch'l«, der erinnert sich, auch nach Jahren noch, mit recht geteilten Gefühlen der bittersüßen Nachwirkungen, die sich mild aber doppelt äußern, ehe sie als geradezu unverwüstlicher Kater ausklingen.
