I had some in Bruges last year, sat in the sun in the main square. Got up after 3 of them and my legs nearly gave way from under me, nearly fell on top of my kid!
8% is still only 2/3rds the alcohol in most wines. You get wine by the 250ml glass as normal these days and I think Duvel is a 300ml bottle. 3 units of wine versus 2.4 units in a Duvel
Despite struggling with a drink problem for years, I never tried Special Brew, Tennents Super or Absynth
Only 8% that's almost as strong as a can of carlsberg special brew.
There are loads of good continental beers at those strengths. The UK is largely rubbish at it (although Brewdog do some decent ones). Had a lovely Danish beer called 'The Talented Mr. Orangutan' t'other day. I think that was 8.5% but was stoutish and had a lovely toffee flavour.

That sounds lovely. The only problem I have with stout is it takes me about an hour to finish one
