120 minute, so 18%.

Not a fan. I'll stick with the 90 minute.

Was that the one broken out at the Parish tasting? Or was it a Tactical Nuclear Penguin?

Either way, whichever one was broken out that night is my strongest beer.

Second place would be a Utopias at 27% or so.

This, I think Borrelia brought it, could be wrong.
I don't worry about ABV it's all in the taste. I've had plenty of 10-12% that taste like straight alcohol. Drink Evil Twin Imperial Biscotti Break last weekend and it went down like silk. Good beers can balance the ABV

Yeah, the Utopias drank nothing like a 27% beer... I don't mean that it wasn't boozy, just that it was well balanced with the other flavors and didn't taste like rocket fuel.

Agreed, I didn't have anything to do with that. I must have missed it at the Parish tasting. Maybe I was holding Wiltz's hair?

That was Tactical Nuclear Penguin. My strongest, as well.

32%. I thought it was pretty tasty but the booziness was so overwhelming I had to shoot the beer..
