    Its very rare of me not to finish a bottle of beer but this was just too much.
    I am not a big fan of sweet tasting beer but this was too sweet for me.

    Was just in booze to go (classy i know) and noticed that they a beer called steiger?. Anyway it was 4 cans for a fiver and 10%. Has anyone ever tried this. I like a nice strong lager but at that price i don't hold much hope.

    I'm guessing that there is a pricing mistake or it's not really 10%
    The duty alone on a 10% beer would probably be more than that price.
    I do remember a cheap lager in a silver can called Steiger from way back - wasn't 10%, although there could be a 'super' version.

    Well i would have to go in and check but it definitely was 10%. the price was handwritten so maybe it was near sell buy date. I did buy a 10% beer in sweden at 1.65 a can though.

    Yeah I remember Steiger from when I was working in the local as a teenager. Cheap and not that popular. Think Guinness was 1.50 a pint Steiger was around 1.40 I think. Shows you how long ago it was!
    Don't remember it being stronger than regular lager though.

    I'm not a huge fan of strong beers, due to the alcohol flavour you described. but I had a Bottle of Westvleteren 12 in Amsterdam, which is 10% and there's such a richness of flavour, you can barely taste the alcohol off it at all.
    Amazing beer.

    Supporting the independent brewer, wine producer and distiller

    that really does not conform with the price on that bottle.

    Two years on and I have to say I'm changed my mind considerably.

    Sitting here enjoying a Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Ale which weighs in at a not too shabby 9.6%. I've tried it before and couldn't get past the alcohol taste but my tastebuds have certainly changed. I think it may have a lot to do with my love of American IPAs.

    Funny how the auld tastebuds change over time. :)
