I was at a Czech restaurant and saw a beer I never had tried - Baron Trenck. I order it, and notice that the description says something about how the extra ABV% improves the taste. I expect something around 7-8%. I get the bottle and look at it.
It's 14%! Jesus. Will this even be drinkable? I pour it and taste.
Wow! I would never have guessed it was over say, 6.5%. A crisp, pilsener-esque taste, but with some complexity and depth, and a very firm foam head. It tasted very, very good and was easy enough to drink that I could take 50cl (~18oz) with no problem. However, be wary: You will get REALLY DRUNK from it, because it's much stronger than it tastes. I have no idea why they sell it in 50cl, rather than 33cl (~12oz). I recommend splitting it over 2 or 3 people, preferably with some strong cheese (especially green mold cheese) and crackers, like I had it. I give it 8.5. It's brewed by Starobrno brewery.
EDIT: Turns out that despite saying 14%, not 14 degrees, it was probably expressed in degrees Plato, and was as research will show, in fact 6%. Not terribly surprising, though I must admit I'm a bit disappointed.
Next, I had a more regular, dark lager, 5.1%. Bernard Dark, is its name. One of my favourite Czech beers, tastes like liquid bread. It's got almost a stout-esque character, and is pretty sweet. Very complex taste, excellent with Czech food or cheese. 8.5.
