Best beer >15% ABV

Tweak at 17+ is my #2 beer overall next to FBS.

 

this is strongest beer I ever had
http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/285/776/

its 14%

so I have no idea...not many I would pay for in that range.

 

Tweak and Mephistopheles are the 2 best I have had. WWS is way to boozy. I also really liked Founder's Bolt Cutter.

 

The only beers I've had at 15% + are Founders bolt cutter, and DFH 120. Both are excellent, but prefer the 120. Steel Toe Lunker at 14.5 is also wonderful.

 

oh wow I forgot DFH 120 was over 15, thanks for reminding me, I had that 4 or 5 times.

 

Tactical Nuclear Penguin.

 

For me it's DFH Fort. Had a 2009 the night OSU won the national championship and was impressed. Haven't been fortunate enough to land any of the Bruery/Avery/Cobra bottles yet. Got a couple bottles of ADWTD at home though!

 

Mine is 120 Minute by default, as it's the only one I've had.

Damn Ohio's 12% ABV cap.

 

Tweak!

 

From my scores, it looks like Avery's Samael's Ale is the winner. I remember loving it but, it's been so long since I last had it, I don't know if I would still love it as much since my palate is definitely very different these days. More recently, I got to try Founders Bolt Cutter at a bottle share and was blown away. Also a bit more recently, I had The Bruery's Fruet and it too was incredible. I specifically remember the intense raisin notes of that one being what I found so enjoyable but the other two I just remember that they tasted good. So I can't dial in a favorite but at least I presented my top 3.

 

For real. NC's 15% cap is annoying enough. If it was any lower, I honestly wouldn't have moved here.

 

I was actually looking at houses there, now I think I may need to reconsider. I had to drive over 2 hours to get 120 Minute and for the BCBS release and I don't really want to have to do it still when I move.

 

I'm afraid this thread is going to cause me to finally open that bottle of Tweak that I've had since last year

 

We see BCBS here because, as a few have already stated in this thread, it's under 15% but yeah, no 120. It's not very often that a beer above 15% gets released that I'm absolutely dying to try but, when Bozo Beer came out, it upset me that I didn't even have a shot to buy it. It's not so bad for me because I'm in Asheville so, if there is something above 15% I just gotta have, I can make the hour and a half drive south to Greenville, SC and likely find it at Greenville Beer Exchange. I guess what I'm trying to say is, move to Asheville! Everyone else is!

 

Adwtd or Utopias.

 

Had Samael's for the first time the other day. Holy lord was it sweet, and I'm not one to shy away from sweetness. I can only imagine what would happen with some age on it.

 

Tweak and Melage #3 are a couple of my favorites.

 

2009 Black Tuesday, no batch will ever come close.

 

Worldwide stout for me!
