Just went through the thread due to curiosity, and while I am not particularly interested in making a high alcohol brew myself, I do have something to add... I have seen a piece of homebrewing equipment called a "carbon snake." Basically, it consists of a valve and large hose that is stuffed with some sort of distillers' carbon. You "filter" your brew through it as it is gravity racked to a new vessel. This is intended to remove unwanted odours/flavours, as well as some of the less desirable byproducts of the fermentation process. There is one at my LHBS for about $15. I have no idea if this thing works or not, but it might be worth a try. Another option MIGHT be to simply run your brew through a Brita carbon filter. Like I said, I am just assuming this would help in removing some of the less desirable byproducts, I have never done it before.
