Do certain styles of beer make you "buzz" differently?

I had a Delirium Tremens last night for the first time. That got me nice and buzzed.

Also, the Double Bastard.

 

Agreed!!

 

I don't know what it is, but Mad Elf knocks me on my ass. I know the ABV is fairly high but after just a few I'm rip shit drunk.

 

Do you eat breakfast first? If you drink on an empty stomach you are going to feel it much faster.

 

I would think rate would come into play here, i drink my IPAs much faster than sipping on a big beefy 12% RIS. drinkability goes a long ways in thios case would be my guess.

 

I love Hennepin, a lot. But if I have had any beer beforehand I can only have one. If it is my first beer of the day, I can have two. In excess of those rules and my brain starts to float in my skull. I drink a lot of saisons and beers of similar or higher ABV than Hennepin, but its the only beer that does it to me.

It's quite odd.
