I recently opened a barlyewine from Dark Horse named Three Guy Off the Scale. This clocks in at 15% and, while not harsh, the alcohol has a heavy presence.
Smells a little like rocket fuel mixed with sugar, caramel and toffee. Mmm, rocket fuel. The first sip followed with tons of caramel, toffee and dark fruit with a slow alcohol burn in the finish. As I drank more and it warmed a little, the alcohol burn in the finish subsided a bit and I was left with delicious caramel and plum. It actually reminded me quite a bit of Samichlaus and, while super strong, was still tasty. I wouldn't drink more than one in a night for obvious reasons but one was great.
