Barley wine @ ~11.5%
It's coming up on 1 year old this October and has gone through some really interesting changes....at this point, it's quite fantastic.

14.5%, English Barleywine, delicious
Actually I have two that were very close to each other. Years ago I brewed an Eisbock that was around 12%. Brewed a Thomas Hardy's clone back in May that had an O.G. of 1.132 and also came in around 12%. Very young and malty right now but tastes very close to Hardy's now to leave it alone and let it age. Plan on brewing another with in the next month.

Imperial "Irish coffee" stout 1.116. When racking to secondary it was already at 11.8% abv with a nice alcohol warming sensation and aromatic coffee taste. I'm bottling tomorrow with 1lb of lactose and 26oz of Jameson Irish whiskey.
And I'm soon going to bottle my 1.086 ~9% strong scotch ale.:cross:

My 999 Barleywine is still going strong after a week in the chamber. It started at 1.128 I can hardly wait to see how it turns out. Other than that, I make a Belgian strong dark ale that starts at 1.107 and Belgian strong golden ale (DT clone) that starts at 1.092.
I make wines at 12-14%, but the biggest beer I make is an IPA at 9% ABV. It's awesome.
Is that your DFH 90 min clone? I've been meaning to try that.

1.090 Tripel and 1.092 Imperial Porter, both still in the fermenter. The 999 will top those, if I actually decide to brew it on Tuesday.

Barleywine 9.4% It only got down to 1.022 I was hoping for a little lower. Swirled it and left it extra several times no luck.

Mine was my first beer... Brewed New years day, bottled 4 months later racking three times. Tastes amazing so far. I have put this into 550ml IV bottles which gives it a great look. I cant wait to see how this ages as it is dangerously good (we kind of figured it would be hense the IV bottles lol)
og=1.170 (guessing as my hydrometer goes to 1.16) fg=1.037 for an abv of 17%

What yeast did you ferment w/ for that abv?
I've done 4 beers that were 10-11%abv but my biggest so far is the 999 I did yeasterday. OG= 1.150 as is it would be pushing the 17% mark but I'm going to cut it with some water. That's just to damn high.

Well, the mead I have in the primary now, but that's not really beer (1.110 OG though!)...
My IPA...1.074 OG, 1.018 FG, roughly 8% ABV and 80 IBU.

Made the 999 Barleywine two days ago and it was 1.102 OG. My biggest by far.
