    I still have my ADWTD so I hope I enjoy it! But so far my favorite would be World Wide Stout.

    I came here to say exactly this, brilliant beer. A lot of reviews I read said there was too much heat on theirs, but the few I had were spot on.

    Tweak was nice. Nogne O Dark Horizon and Horizon Tokyo Black deserve mentions.

    It's unbelievable that people can't read the title of the thread. BCBS is not greater than 15%.

    Uncle Jacob's Stout and Mephistopholes are my favorite. I've never had tweak but I assume it's fucking amazing.

    DFH 120 is the best hoppy beer over 15% IMO.

    I only had two beer over 15% abv. One was Mephistopheles, the other some eisbock from a brewpub/restaurant in Minneapolis (16% abv).

    Uncle Jacobs Stout really deserves all credit it's receiving from the above comments, absolutely one of my favorites. Avery does so well in their barrel aged series, Tweak is amazing and totally addicting for coffee lovers, Black Eye is awesome and 120 min is.so.good!

    Only one I tried was the World Wide Stout and it didn't blow me away. Hoping to try some of the Avery staples sometime.

    A Deal with the Devil is the only one I've tried, and out of all the beers I've reviewed on this site, it got my highest rating.

    I don't have access to anything else above 15% ABV here except for Bruery Bois and Sucre, and ADWTD is the cheapest (yet still ridiculously expensive) of them, so that's the one I've indulged in. It was worth it!

    Black Tuesday and Utopias jump to mind first for me

    Loved Black Tuesday with 2 years on it. Ive had atleast half a dozen others with less than a years age on them and found them all to be too hot to fully enjoy the other flavors. I think 12-14% is the sweet spot for me to really enjoy something thats less than a year old.

    Raison D'Extra is quite good with a few years on it, too.
