    Love huge BA Stouts and BW especially....but they hit me pretty hard so I limit myself when I am enjoying them

    I used to like them a lot when I was just getting into craft beer. Now it's a toss up. I think the booziness and randomness of most have started to grind on me. It takes a truly special big beer to get my attention. Tossing something into a barrel just isn't as novel as it used to be either.

    We're not alone...there's a few "Modest" booze hounds out there that deny what they are :rolling_eyes::stuck_out_tongue:. I prefer my beers to be Strong, maybe that's why BSDAs got me liking beer again.

    27 out my my highest 50 were positive so about 50% I like more than the next guy or gal.
    But then again, I think that percentage is about the same for all my ratings regardless of ABV, so maybe I'm just an easy grader(or I just really like beer).

    My top 50 are 9.8% and up. 27 positive and 10 break even. Guess I like big beers.

    So it sounds like you are asking for just the first page of ratings when sorting by high ABV? If that's right, I have 33 +rDevs, 3 zeros (neutral), and 14 -rDevs. I guess that means I like 'em strong.

    On the other hand, when I sort by low ABV (and take out the first 8 beers for which ABV is not known, so out of 42 beers), I have 21 +rDevs, 8 zeros (neutral), and 13 -rDevs. So I guess that means I like 'em weak too.

    31 are positive or neutral in my top 50 with the lowest of the bunch being 10.5%

    8 of my top 10 are positive
