Rogue makes a fine Imperial stout. It is only available on US west coast though, mostly in Oregon. North Coast brewery in northern California makes a good one too, and it is available across the US, but very pricey and only found in the best stores.

It seems like a fun drink, especially around the holidays. Like drenable fruit-cake. I'm pretty far west, if not that close to Oregon, so maybe I can come across some.

Re: Don\'t play Dom3 after 2 martinis.....
 

Yes, it's extremely strong. Anywhere from 9% alcohol for the North Coast one, to 11% alcohol for the Rogue brew. Definitely a celebration beer.

I think Sammy Smith's Imperial Stout gets distributed all over. (I've seen it in MD, IN, IL and ID). It's worth a try.

I know Bell's out of Kalamazoo makes a fantastic chocolate stout, but I don't know if they have an imperial.

I find absinth extremely strong from 70% - 95% alcohol, correct me if I'm wrong but I actually think it's baned in US, and It's pretty easy to come by around here.

My drink of choice is "Amarula"... it´s made from an african fruit called "Marula" know as "The Elephant Tree" as elephants love to eat it and gets them drunk... (can you imagine a drunk elephant?)

Anyway, it´s a very sweet drink, and i find it perfect with hot chocolate or even pure...

Re: Don\'t play Dom3 after 2 martinis.....
 

Pretty sure I read it's more in the 60%-70% range, can't recall. But the reason it is banned is because Uncle Sam doesn't think we should recreationally ingest Artemisia. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif We're only allowed alcohol itself, and the wise Puritans among us even tried to take that away, so we shot some of them. >.>

The wiki pages on absinthe are really informative.

And they say US is the greatest place in the world, you can go to war with 18, but you can't order a drink until your 21, that ain't OK.

Believe you me Jim, I drank 90% alcohol absinth, you have a feeling like your puring flames down your throat!!!

I'm pleased to see that my drunken antics have flourished into a grand post about drunken antics all over the world.

The best day of my life I (US Citizen - Texas) was in Germany (forget which city now), and I saw a kid who couldn't have been out of high school (heck, looked like he was 12) carrying a sixer out of the local market.

Now THAT is how to handle booze distribution.
