Years ago I made a Maple Imperial Stout. It was about 10.5% ABV before I added the maple syrup in secondary fermentation. I think it about about 12 ABV afterwards.
I remember at the Original Lionheart in Albany NY, they put Sierra Nevada Bigfoot on tap, in 1999. Of course, they forgot to tell the bartender what it was and that it was supposed to be sold in 6 oz snifters. They were selling pints for $3.50. Not knowing it was 9.5% meant I'd had about 3 pints before I hit the HOLY CRAP line.
Here in Houston, they make a really well balanced Double IPA, St. Arnold's Endeavor. It is 9%. And deadly. It is so smooth and tasty, but not too bitter. You do not know you are in trouble until you are in trouble. I have been on a self imposed Endeavor ban for many years.
