I never made it into the disco and to the young lady of my dreams because of this stuff. Think I was in bed by ten and still retching in the morning. Damn you CSB.
What a bunch of weenies, try the Belgian "Duvel" (pron. "Tuifel"=Devil) 14% strong, treacherous as heck! Drunk two in a row, when I was coming off thebar stool my legs had gone elsewhere Tried it not a bad drop but as you say tends to effect you in many ways as this post (14%) proved
Ref Strong beers I believe the Strongest was/is called Roger and Out brewed on the premises of the Frog and Parrot in Sheffield. I never did try the stuff all the years I lived there...Apparently it was like syrup and served in a shot glass.
Drew Next time your Harrogate way look for Daleside Brewerys Old Leg Over thats a fair pint. I have nice memories of Harrogate after spending a couple of weeks in the Police Convelecence Home following a Leg operation in the mid 1980's. Some of us literally hobbled to a Pub that was said to sell excellent Real Ale. I have to admit that that stuff can become addictive. It tasted so smooth that you did not realise just how strong it was until we started to return to the home Getting back was a problem. Regards Tom
Adam you do come out with some pearlers and 'Liquid Taser' is up there with the best of them I can hear the drunk screaming as the cops try to arrest him in the shop doorway at 3 in the morning. "Don't Tase me!" Is it recorded what WC thought of the brew? Disgusting stuff, by the way.
There used to be a Belgian Beer place at the top of Camden in the 80's. Alegedly an eatery of sorts in the style of a monastry with bench seets and no seeting plan. Most folk used to go just for the thirty od Belgian beers they had on tap. I remember Duvel being mentally strong and certainly over 8%... but if you want a reeeealy mental stout try Tactical Nuclear Penguin. 34% £35 a bottle. Not tried it myself as £35 seems a bit much for a beer to me...

I have drank Carlsberg, yet was some time ago so i dont actually remember my opinion on it. How does Carlsberg go up against Australian beers, many of them are strong. I've talked this over with a lot of people, and you dont seem to see people brawling when they've been out on the lager in Germany - I suspect its cos whereas our beer here is loaded with chemicals they have laws that mean brewers can only use natural ingredients. Or it could be Spirits and Drugs.
Never really became a fan of the local beers during my 13 years in Germany. There were a few that you had to drink, (Herforder, Paderborner) for social occasions, but when the NAAFI had it, Carlsberg Elephant went down well. These days, I tend to brew my own - because, as a Yorkshireman I begrudge giving away my money to a bloke called 'Darling' - usually something close to Theakstons Best Bitter.
