    Is Kuhnhenn 4D over 15%? If so, that one. Other than that, Bruery Black Tuesday.

    Well according to my logged beers I've apparently only had one so... by default, 120 Minute.

    Well, considering I haven't had many over that ABV (Ohio's ABV cut-off is 12%), I'd have to go with 120 minute being my fav.

    I have also tried Mikkeller's ForĂȘt De Tronçais (19.3%) and that tasted like more of a liquor than a beer. Probably should've aged that one a little longer... I really enjoyed their Big Worster (17.3%) though. Little on the sweet side, but a good barleywine nevertheless

    I had a World Wide Stout Saturday, great stuff. I've enjoyed the 2007 Rasion de Extra and look forward to the new release.

    Black Tuesday and Samael's, according to my reviews. That seems accurate.

    honestly, none..just too much for me. i could be talking out of my ass, but anything i've had over 15% just doesn't have much flavor to it.

    The only one I've had is Rasion de Extra so that is my fav by default. I really don't seek out beers that are in double digits. If I want that kind of jolt a little Glenmorangie on the rocks does the job.

    I've had very few over 15% but Dogfish Head Olde School is definitely the best. Had it with only 4 months on it and didn't really get the booze people seem knock it for (no where near as boozy as BCBS), but I'd still love to see how it ages.

    Also, had Avery Rumpkin the other day, which started out great, but warming up made it wayyy too sweet and sticky. Could have been a contender though.

    Tried BrewDog Tokyo* at a Fest earlier in the year, but don't really remember it that much since it was towards the end of the session. Have a bottle of Avery The Beast sitting in the fridge that I'll get around to later this week.

    Utopias is enjoyable
    Mephistopheles with a couple years on it is tasty.
    Black Tuesday and Chocolate Rain were good but very overrated. Only ever had them fresh.
