    @Seul:

    For me it's just as important to know of a good 5-6% stout or porter as it is to know of a 10-14% impy stout… Much harder to find though...

    When they show up they're great. That Canadian brewery, the name of which I forget now has a stout at around  5-6% called Aphrodite. It's bloody lovely. The Hooker's Point coconut porter is (?) is around there too and bloody lovely. Sorry about the lack of googling. Too many rods in the fire… (not prison slang).

      Dieu du Ciel Aphrodisiaque… 6.5%... Definitely a great example...

        @Jett129:

        Still hope to have a beer with you some day.

        At some point in the next few years I absolutely have to get back to the east coast, and NYC especially. I've probably mentioned it but my brother lives in Brooklyn now with a Chicagoan. Whenever I get out, you'll know about it.

          Sherry: yes. Port: yes. Great beer: oh yes.

            Some nights you just have to keep it simple…

              Funny that is considered simple now. A classic. Not too long ago that was an exotic over here. Only two
              Places in all of NYC had chimay on draft. Sheeit.

              Maybe so. Maybe not

                ^ true story! I enjoyed it though. One of those beers I wish was two-three % weaker so I could just drink it all day. Orval being the other one (not that I’m saying they’re equal @Seul, sink those shoulders).

                    That pepper-y yeast…

                    Orval isn't 6.2% as seen on the bottle btw... It is when bottled, but due to the Brettanomyces, it keeps fermenting... And rising in ABV... Think it clocks out at around 7... And maybe this is a myth, but I think it says 7 on US labels due to stricter laws there... Anyone?..

                      The beer in the states has less than the rest of the world i think, bud select has 2.4%,miller64 2.8% low carb types corona 4.1% coors light 4.2%, budwiser is been sue 3 times for watering down their beer, is piss water, I get sick looking at it , the better ones average between 4-6%.
                      I was in Spain and a friend gave us a few beers his brother brew, I drank two and it felt liked I drank 7 beers, damn it was potent :D, never asked him what the alcohol content was .

                        I looked it up and was almost right… 1/10th of a % of...  😢

                        This beer is 6.2% when released in Europe, US labels say 6.9% due to labeling laws.

                          The bottles we get in Norway are also labelled 6,9%:

                            Rodenbach Caractère Rouge. 50% discount since the bottles were expired… But pasteurised, so a bit of a risk...

                            It is, however, beautiful beer... A symphony of red fruit...

                                  Thanks.

                                  Omnipollo online store opened just long enough for me to snag these…

                                    I’ve only ever had the fatamorgana which I really liked. What beer is that?
