In Minnesota, where a lot of German immigrants moved before WW1, beer doesn't have an abv requirement. Beers from microbreweries can get to between 10% - 20%. Some of my favorites sit between 7% and 12%
Usually the ones above 10% taste like shit. Like someone brewed a good beer and then dumped a shot of vodka in it
Most of the super high content ones up here are very dark beers, like a blond coffee and things like that which mask the taste properly because it's natural from brewing and not fortified. I know exactly what you mean though, I've had high content beers that tasted like a Busch mixed with Winsor
Had something like that a few years back at a local brewery, they made 2 kegs of it in whiskey barrels for their anniversary, and that was IT
Lady told my brother and I about it when we were admiring the smell coming off the used barrel, said to come back the next day so we could have some of the second keg
Got there at opening, saw them pop it and pour the first 4 glasses, handed it right to me
Thickest, nuttiest, most flavorful beer I've ever had and it had fucking 19% ABV
They called it Soul Destroyer, and it did, for I cannot easily find something that good ever again
Yeah I prefer dark beers. Usually they're fine at 8-10%. Beyond that it usually tastes bad, and seems like they added sugar just to increase the % for a market of folks who like strong beers (strong as in high alcohol. It's actually a thing)
Sure, but we're also the last state to have 3.2 beer. Come on in-Bev, bribe our politicians to finally end this!
