I have a few ass kickers...

Trois Pistoles juiced up to 10.5% - all that alcohol turns into fruity flavors after 6 months
Interceptor IPA - cold serving temp and bitterness masks its 7% bite - kinda like getting raped by a speed trap
German Chocolate Stout - warm and fuzzy just like a birthday cake, but that warm feeling isn't from getting that sweet present!
8.2% Apfelwein back-sweetened with Splenda. - Smells like cider, tastes like cider, oh **** i'm wrecked!

My mead's have a while to go, but they are all gonna be ninja I think. The chocolate cherry one has a few years to go.. but it will end up being 18% worth of ass kicking.

+1 on the Apfelwine, never been so effected so much without knowing it before!

I got about 85% efficiency with Yooper's DFH 60 clone recipe. My planned efficiency was adjusted for around 70%. That beer DEFINITELY snuck up and kicked you squarely in the ass while you enjoyed every sip.

Wee heavy. When it's cold, it's easy drinking, but as it warmed up, I realize that it could jump out of the glass and kick my ass and the ass of all my other beers. Phraseology credit goes to my roommate Cameron.

lets think Chuck Norris when it comes to a nice India triple that I like to make. Starts at 1075 and it really likes to sneak up on you.
Talk about a round house to the face!
what did the chuck say to the face: Wasted!

Apfelwein for sure, probably why I will not make it again.

this coriander wit http://homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=48423 will sneak up an kick our tail. the cori masks the high alcohol content after bout three wks keeps well for 6 mo or more

 

[sirsloop]

damn... you gotta pony up the dough for some WLP400 for that thing. Coriander wit with Nottingham's is like... uhhh...a spicey english pale ale!! Aint no wit without the belgian funk my friend!

 

[g_rath]

sounds tasty though. i might give it a try with some wit yeast.

The recipe is usually always under construction but Weizenbock kicks my ass. The next one I brew will be around 7.8% and worth every point...

One of my favorite batched I called BigZestyWheat.
It was a 6.5% Wheat beer that had the zest of 2 lemons in the boil and the zest of two more in secondary. It was an amazing thirst quencher, and never let you know how big a punch it packed.
