What an exciting and frightening race.

I've had a rare few somewhere in the 10-15 range, as beers in the 10% range are increasingly common. But above that..nope.

I've had the Dogfish 120 Minute IPA (18%) and the Samuel Adams Triple Bock (17.5%). I had trouble finishing them... they're overpowering. Not so much because of the alcohol, but they're very heavy and sweet.

I've had a few Triple/Quad Bocks in the low teens. Hell, a growler of Ommegang Adoration Ale consumed on an empty stomach knocked me on my ass last year-- stumbling and loopy-- and that's only 10% ABV.

Folks gotta remember that when they're having 80 proof (40%) liquor (Liquor? I hardly know her!) that they're not generally having 12 - 16 oz of it at a sitting.

See, that's the problem: I'm a ghost-guzzler. I think the problem-- at its root-- may be that I ain't afraid of no ghosts.

For some reason I don't think 43% ABV Beer would actually taste good. Generally alcohol needs to be balanced with other elements to make flavor.

I would love to at least try a bottle of Tactical Nuclear Penguin, but there is no way I'm spending 35 British pounds ($50) for 330 ml. (12 oz) of any beer known to man. I wouldn't expect that they are selling much of the stuff.

I bet it sells, hell, there was such a demand that they've made a second batch to ship to America.

Not 43% ABV, but rather enjoyable anyway, we downed a growler of 'Crazy Ivan' (natch) a mix of a belgian ale with USA style hoppy flavor from Bear Republic in California. Good shit!

http://www.brewdog.com/blog-article.php?id=341 Only 12 bottles have been made and each comes with its own certificate and is presented in a stuffed stoat or grey squirrel. The striking packaging was created by a very talented taxidermist and all the animals used were road kill. This release is a limited run of 11 bottles, 7 stoats and 4 grey squirrels. Each ones comes with its own certificate of authenticity.

Just how drunk must one be to want to drink something that comes from a bottle stuffed inside a road kill animal?

"Off the wagon" means you're drinking again, though, doesn't it? (Or do I have that backwards?)

I don't necessarily drink beer for the taste, but for the buzz.
