    thing is,  if  a beer that strong isnt  brewed to that strength,  is immediately full of FAIL

    I woke up at 6.30 on my sofa, chicken pakora all over the floor. I shared the beer with a couple of pals to mark my 2nd brainiversary.

    I think if I drank that I'd have ended up sharing it with the floor, the toilet and anything between the two...

    You can't brew a beer to 65% ABV surely ???
    Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.

    Frankly that sounds pretty awful.
    Was it pretty awful?

    I remember a few years ago it was *quite the thing* to snort shot glasses of vodka.
    I never did it but I saw a bunch of people do it.
    It was quite hilarious.

    No. It must be artificially fortified.

    For £55 I'd buy a half bottle of vodka, add a half pint of beer and have much the same result and about £45 left over.

    Ah just read how they got a beer to 65%... freeze it and separate the ice from the non-frozen alcohol.

    Bonkers.

    The absinthes I used to drink came in between 65% and 77% and I concluded that all that guff about absinthe being hallucinogenic was bollocks and basically if you drink 65% alcohol anything you'll see whatever your poor damaged brain happens to throw at you.

    I've never had an abnormally-higher-than-usual alcomaholic beverage that wasn't also abnormally-less-tasty-than-normal.

    That's just distillation though, isn't it?

    What on earth is your bathroom arrangement? I've only ever seen toilets with a direct interface to the floor...

    Pointless.

    Once it's over 5%ish, it will only start tasting worse.

    I did that by accident as a student with a can of stella. I opened it (barely) and realised there was a big block of ice in the can and a small amount of orangey brown liquid surrounding it, which I swigged. It was bloody awful, really sickly and put me off stella for years :D

    I'd happily taste a 65% beer but I'm not sure I'd drink a whole one, or even a third. Good effort!

    I am rather partial to vodka, so people assume must also like Absinthe, which I think tastes the way I imagine bleach or drain cleaner to taste...

    I think there's about 20 units of booze in that 330ml bottle, so probably best not to drink it all in one sitting.

    I applaud the sentiment, but there's some superb Belgian beers.

    This one for example ...

    image

    When I worked in Brussels the running gag was for the barman in the hotel to give any new arriviste 3 of these and see if they could walk after getting off a bar stool (I failed spectacularly ;) ) - doesn't taste strong at all, a bit chocolately if anything - hence they get necked quickly and ta da !
    Imagine something sharp and witty here ......

    A lot of Belgian stuff is excellent, though you get the feeling they try more to make a beer that tastes good then work out the %age, rather than setting out to make a high vol from the outset, as the Brewdog type chaps seem to.
