Heh sorry for slightly off clues. ;) And for derailing, as said...
Yep I'm Norwegian, Mr Cadet, but I've held a love for these blasted things since Fred Dellar's music-related xwds in the NME in the late 80's... I fondly remember
Peter's O'Tool (12)
in 1986 -- I'd already noted some anagrams and other structure here and there, but then the penny dropped just how wide the possibilities were. It is akin to what moley said in this thread I started: "... put me into a world filled with mad, perverse British aristocrats and eccentrics from the 18th century."
Heh xwds and that thread show a major thing with me actually, I love creative stuff where there is COMPLETE freedom within VERY STRICT formal constraints... :p

I feel bad that I forgot who anatol was. Anatol, are you familiar with another Ole M, Ole Mathison, a talented Norwegian sax player who lives in NYC?

Mingus!
No idea about the beer though.
Was Lorax's "single key..." answer right? I don't get it either way, so some letters or an explanation would be much appreciated.
