Just read the "small print" on the bottle, 6.6%  :o

Yep, fairly potent, though the real Trappist beer I'm sipping on here is 7% and the next one will be 9.5%  ;)

Do the increments stop at 9.5% ? I hope so.

They probably will for me tonight, but I have an 11.5% there too (Quadrupel Ale), but that would generally be the very last. And those are 330ml bottles, not 750ml.

How many bottles of 11.5% ale can you handle before you get that warm glow...........?

Too many too fast Minder, and you're asleep where you sit  ;)

They wouldn't be a beer for a session, and one of them would have you glowing enough, two would be plenty.

Remember drinking this pish in Portugal, Super Bok or something it was called. First night there when I was 17 I got a whole rake of tins thinking it would be like a beer at home not noticing the strength, drank them and was absolutely pished. Fell in pool an all on way out, me wearing my best clothes too, ruined for the week.

Went off beer myself during my uni days, couldn't afford it drinking every night so switched to cider (Frosty Jacks or Symonds) and have been on that since. Now I have left uni though I have at least graduated to Magners. Having couple tins now.

Aye Shazam, always worth checking the strength on the continent. They don't tend to go mad for the volume of beer like we do here with pint after pint, so quite often even the draught beers will be a good deal stronger.
