Best beer >15% ABV

I too am in love with most of the ones you mentioned...particularly the Black Tuesday variants.

As for American Barleywines, Founder's Bolt Cutter. English Style Barleywine, Mother of All Storms and BCBBW.

If you haven't had the pleasure, I recommend seeking out any variant of Alesmith's Speedway Stout (all of the BA coffee variants are stellar).

 

Was Tweak over 15%? That was damn good.

 

The DFH stuff 120 minute, world wide stout, olde school Barleywine. I'm a big fan of Fort, a 18% quad with raspberries from DFH. Also, the Mikkeller Foret series is very good at 19.3%. Don't know why it isn't rated much higher than it is.

 

1) Bruery Black Tuesday, 2) DFH 120 Minute

 

2003 Sam Adams Utopias

 

Wouldn't mind trying Utopias(as to what 2 mentioned above), but I've heard those are super expensive, if you even see one store selling it. Guess I'd have to go to something like a bottle share event, to EVER have a chance of trying it.

I've had several of the Bourbon County beers, and while they are a hair short of 15% ABV, they were all awesome. I badly want to try the 19% Not Your Father's Root Beer(from Small Town Brewery based in Wauconda, IL), but only something like less than a dozen bars and restaurants in the Chicago area serve that on draft. There's also 5 and 10% versions of it, that are much more common.

 

Make that two

 

I can't choose between a couple different locations so it's coming down to little things like that. I've got the whole country to choose from when it comes to location, why not move to a place that had everything I want? High ABV beers included.

 

Please do me a favor though you don't know me from a hole in the wall. Don't base your decision on this....

 

Forgot about Bozo Beer! Amazing Brew. Definitely up there with Tweak

 

I had WWS and KBS on tap side by side last year and picked WWS for the second serving.....

 

Mikkeller French Oak Series 19.3% Barleywine

 

Horizon Tokyo Black was very good.

 

DFH Fort.

 

Ortmans Red Iron Tavern in Woodstock, IL has 19.5% NYFRB on tap every Tuesday!

 

Tweak...and the last time I had 120, I really enjoyed it. Man...Tweak!

 

Black Tuesday, Uncle Jacobs Stout (blew Tweak away IMO), and ADWTD (batch 1)

Just off the top of my head from the beers
i've drank over the last month.
I did not like a single Avery beer I've tried yet.

 

My highest rated over 15% ABV is Black Tuesday.

 

Really nice job on that one.
