I picked up one bottle of this at the SAQ outside the Notre Dame Basilica. The bottle labels were covered over by white labels front and back that were obviously deemed necessary by the Quebec provincial governing body (a la LCBO-extra strong bier, etc.) so I really didn't know what I had until I got home yesterday.
I tried it last night...minimal head...a true sipper...this had the sweet tartness of candycane...14% alc/vol, brewed in Austria. Label say it is the strongest beer in the world. I wish I had purchased more.
I check it on Ratebeer this morning to find out that this beer could be the rarest (or one of the rarest) to be found anywhere...brewed only on December 6th (mine was 2006). Now I REALLY wish I had purchased more. MY BAD.
To those of you travelling in Quebec soon, try to look this one up...and buy more than one...

Does the label still make that claim?BeerMonger wrote:Label say it is the strongest beer in the world.
It was once correct, but it's since been beat by Dogfish Head World Wide Stout, a couple of Sam Adams beers, and perhaps one or two others.
I think it's still the strongest lager in the world, though. And perhaps the strongest beer brewed in Europe?
