    Boulevard Love Child No.3 was the first beer I've had where I had a hard time believing the % on the label until several minutes after finishing the bottle. 9.5% but it tastes like it has the alcohol content of a Berliner Weiss.

    I found that the wootstout's 13% is well hidden

    Very surprised no one mentioned Weyerbacher Riserva!

    And it doesn't list the 11.4% ABV on the label.. I finished my first bottle solo with no idea of the ABV, but never expected it was that high.

    Just tried Double Bastard, and while the alcohol is well hidden in its taste, it absolutely reeks of booze. I couldn't get away the smell (which was actually quite lovely in a bourbon barrel sort of way), so I remained fully aware of the ABV throughout

    If memory serves, I took a sip of my 22 oz. '12 Bolt Cutter and said, "whoa, smooth." After I was finished drinking it, I got up from the couch too fast. This time I said, "whoa, strong."

    Another vote for Oud15. I thought it was ~7% and when I went to review it I couldn't believe the ABV was listed at 13%.

    Exponential Hoppiness from Alpine is dangerously easy to drink at 11%.

    I get that this is the general knock on Creme Brulee. Frankly, I am not a sweet beer fan myself. For some reason the two exceptions to that rule (for me) are ST's Pumpking and Creme Brulee. I was NOT a fan of Javha or Mocha b/c I thought they had a fake sweetness that was distatseful. I enjoy Chocklat, but I would not describe it as sweet.

    I had Stillwater As Follows, a 9% Belgian Strong Pale Ale, a couple of nights ago and there was almost no alcohol flavor. Tasted great too, give it a try!

    Had this on tap at home not long ago. Had to take the keys away from a few people after a few.

    Two Brother's 16th Anniversary Ale....I think they fudged the calculations on purpose to get it to 16% ABV, cuz brotha, you sure can't taste it.

    On top of the ones already listed I would say Brooklyn Local 1 which is around 9%

    Ive noticed that saisons are the best at disguising alcohol content.
