Best Disguised Alcohol Content

When I read the subject, I wasn't quite expecting what the OP then asked, which is probably why this thread has such a mish mash of replies; some more accurately fitting the subject line and some more accurately fitting the post. Tripel Karmeliet is probably the one that I would classify as the "innocent school-girl" type beer that I have seen floor more people in less time, simply because it drinks like there is no alcohol behind this 8.5 beer.

But as far as a beer that I feel best disguises or hides a higher ABV, that would be Alpine's Expo. That is probably my favorite "triple" IPA (at 11%), simply because there is no heat commonly found in other popular examples of the style, like Younger.

 

^^^ This and Utopias...both are very well hidden, you would never know your drinking such a high ABV Beer...

 

2011 Brooklyn Monster Ale. Just cracked it and it tastes like candy!

 

Evil Twin Aun Mas Cafe Jesus - 12.00 % and dangerously easy to drink. Dangerously expensive too at $8.99 for a 12 oz. bottle.

 

I can't believe I've read three people post Undercover Shutdown Ale. It's like 10% and tastes like 20%. But I seem to be hyper-sensitive to alcohol flavors. I taste anything that approaches 10%. Utopias? If you gave it to me blind I would never guess I was drinking beer.

 

Stille Nacht.

 

I don't ever really taste a strong presence of alcohol in the monkey when I drink it I have to say... I see what your saying about Victory beers in general though..

 

Drank a De Dolle Oerbier Special Reserva '10 the other night and was really surprised it's 13% (really wish I grabbed more bottles of it the other year, damn!).

 

Rush River Uber Alt. Only 8%. But for a reasonably priced sixer that drinks like a regular alt, you can get in trouble.

 

Even at 18% ABV, Avery's Uncle Jacobs tastes like it's about 1/3 as strong as it actually is.

 

Augustiner Edelstoff. It goes down incredibly easily, but at 5.6% it's a fair bit stronger than your average lager. Great stuff, but potentially dangerous!

 

It's 10.5% I thought that meant it was an OG of 1.050! Mind...Blown!

 

Gulden Draak @ a delicious 10.5%

 

Came here to mention some sours. Consecration for sure

 

FBS on tap goes down so smooth, I can drink 5 pints of it in a sitting. Then the 8.4% kicks in. Can someone call me a cab?

 

For me it's Trappistes Rochefort 10. It's a 11.3% and the alcohol almost goes unnoticed.

 

For me it is generally the malt-forward DIPAs like 90 Min, 120 Min and Brown Shugga.

Otherwise, folks here need to drink more bourbon.

 

The most recent one that got me was Hoptimum. A couple 10% pints on an empty stomach. Yikes.

 

Didn't read the whole thread so don't kill me if it's already been said....

Enjoy by was seriously well hidden, it's 9.4 but I had no idea until I looked at the bottle.....

 

NB's Rampant come to mind as these go down real easy for me, the 8.5% is a bit of a creeper.
