If you ever get a chance to try one of the Dunkerton's bottled ciders, you should.
They make it a couple of miles down the road and it is v.quaffable.
What are you drinking? Page 139
I'll look out for it.
Always willing to try a few different ones.
Although the 9.5% one from the Cider farm I had the other day may have been a mistake in hindsight.
I bloody hate booze that's stronger than it should be.
Trying to find a white wine below 13% these days is a right arse ache.
6% is max for cider in my books.
There's a lovely local pint (ale) from the local Ludlow Brewery that's 3.2% - you can really quench your thirst on it.
The pursuit of super-strength booze is barmy IMHO
Yes
When a drink is hard work to get through, it seems to miss the point.
I'm not sure I agree with that. A nice bottle of Thomas Hardy Ale (about 13%) is a nice drink as long as you pace yourself. Quaffing it down like a pint of Fosters isn't advisable...

i just find some booze 'carries' the alcohol level a lot better than others - plus I have a certain mindset when faced with different types of booze.
13% is just like red wine so I guess if it's approached that way it could work.
But for me Beer=Thirsty, Wine=Food, Spirits=Drunk

JD as it is or, at a push, on ice but never, never mixed !

I don't know if anyone's tried it but you would never know that Duvel is 8.5%
Until you've had about eight that is !
Nowthat's a lovely drop.
Some how the Flemish countries have mastered incredibly strong but drinkable beers.
Sophisticated but mental.
Benylin.
That's nice but you really need to stop drinking it through a straw at your desk at work.
This 10% bad boy was my tipple of choice on my last trip to Holland.
Must try to save some for the dear lady wife who's on her way home.
See.
Even the pictures got blurred vision.
Too strong, I say!
EDIT
Now I'm bloody seeing things.
Was there a giant picture of Chamay bottles up there just now?
Becks.

I take it the edit was the bottom line added as an afterthought ?
No, I couldn't find a small one so gave up !
There, that's better . . I forgot what we're talking about now !
Thank Gawd for that - I thought I was having a 'moment'.
