I had the strongest beer I've ever had a few months ago at 15.5%. It was sensational. It was a bit more fancy than Special Brew though (and a bit more expensive!).

Didn't there used to be a taboo around this level of emboozlement in beer then Brewdog challenged it with tactical nuclear penguin?

We got a bottle of tactical nuclear penguin many years ago, it was quite a lot, about75-100 quid I think, and it looked and tasted like volcanic Calpol.
Quadruple IPA.
Nice to try once, but that was enough

I had a look for FAXE in my local Lidl last night. Couldn't find it.

It wasn't in the main beer section, it was where they have "specials" stacked up on pallets.
I might just go back and have a look, buy some more. To taunt you.

The cold distillation process they developed to make those beers was cool though.

Re: PSA: FAXE @ LIDL
So what's the deal with that anyway. Is it nice or is it just like special brew/malt liquor where they pack it full of sugar so it ferments more?

Re: PSA: FAXE @ LIDL
Pretty much yeah. It’s not normally available here, so it’s a novelty, and it reminds me of the road trip I did with Gavster last year. It’s a change of scenery from the Merlot-in-a-box I normally drink. There’s no need to over-think it
Re: PSA: FAXE @ LIDL
That's fair, I would buy malt liquor whenever I saw it for the novelty, even though really sweet beer isn't something I've ever wanted .
Made a change from the £4.50 bottles of own brand wine from Morrisons.

Re: PSA: FAXE @ LIDL
It's not *really* sweet. Just a little bit sweet to partially cover the burning sensation from the alcohol.
