    The Sixth Glass by Boulevard is 10.20% and only 15 dollars a six pack here. A steal.

    Why? It's not a requirement to drink the whole thing in one sitting.

    Ballast Point also has an amazing DIPA at 10% : Manta Ray (yeah, that Victory at Sea is a mighty Vanilla bomb!)

    I would be all over Wootstout in a six pack format. I think it is a real treat.

    Having a 10% or higher beer in the 12oz format is better for me. 16oz is okay, but I'd rather enjoy the smaller option.

    You guys all beat me to the punch on this, but was actually going to chime in that I really like it, and wish more high octane beers were available in 6 packs. They typically tend to be a better value than in bomber format, and usually 12 ounces is as much as I ever want in a high abv., BA stout (for example).

    12 oz. of a big beers is absolutely easier to take on than 22oz, and if you really want the other 10 oz just break out another bottle. No brainer.

    Avery Maharaja hits the 10% mark and is in sessionable six-pack cans. These cans have the advantage of getting old on the shelves without getting lightstruck, unlike the old 22 oz. bottle format.

    Tiny and Blithering Idiot are also around the 11-12% mark and come in 6 packs. I don't know about outside PA but their beers are a fantastic value here.

    How was deths tar packaged this year? My shop broke them to singles but my thinking is they came in 6 packs... at 14.8%.

    Also, looking through my ratings a few others not already mentioned:

    -North Country brewing co - zombie red back barleywine
    - North Coast - old stock ale
    -Lagunitas - brown shugga

    Pizza Boy sells 6 packs of 16 oz cans of their stuff and a couple of their beers are over 10%. One I remember particularly was Arck Angel with Peaches - it was 13%.

    All of Rev's Deep Wood series are packaged now in 4 pks. A great thing imo.

    Not anymore they're not. There was a brief time. The grapefruit sculpin sells at our local WalMart for $9.95.
