Nice review Simon, cheers. For me Carlsberg Special Brew was the best beer in the world bar none, but I`m going back 30 years ago. Then they started messing with it to the point of ruination, it just wasn`t the same liquid anymore. I did try a can some years ago but in comparison it was vile so I`ve not had it since & won`t revisit it. Wasn`t it the nanny-state intervention that harmed UK-brewed higher strength beers suggesting that you couldn`t be within recommended daily alcohol levels if you consumed a whole can? Anyway the brewers & the public have succumbed & made their way to the `naughty corner` & those that enjoy strong beer & alcohol in general are now forced to pay more for the lesser experience.

Special Brew was originally brewed in honour of Winston Churchill's first visit to Copenhagen after WW2, around 1950. It was intended to have tasting hints of cognac, which Churchill drank for breakfast. And all through the day!

Karpackie recently underwent a rebranding. It seems they no longer want to be recognized as a beer for bums. There is a new 6% ABV lager on offer, and one of the strong lagers is advertised as containing "smoked malts." Their advertising campaign is quite prominent on social media in Poland.

back in 1998 I started getting drunk with friends at the weekend. one night in West Stow at the local pub my friend got a load of these really strong beers called "Gold Label", I've never seen them since and not sure if that was the proper name but the bottle was small and the beer was around 10%. It was absolutely awful...the next week we went camping and took some White Lightning cider...and that was even worse. always avoided cheap and strong beers/ciders since then...there's one in B&M at the moment called FAXE...looks nasty!!!

You've gotten more into Lagers and so now these stronger Lagers are something you are able to tolerate as opposed to a few years ago. You have got me more into Lagers the last couple years and so when I'm at a small pub over here in the US and I have had no choice but to have regular Budweiser I can actually tolerate it now where a few years ago I would have hated it.

A tiny Polski Sklep (Polish shop) used to sell ALL its beers at just £1 per 500ml can. Anything from a "lady's 2% fruit lager" to 9% Karpackie. If I bought a slab of Karpackie, they added a free can of another brand to try. Then along came the Welsh Arsembly "Minimum Unit Pricing" for alcohol, so they had to sell it at a minimum of £2.25 per can. Sales dropped, profits withered, the shop was shut. Amazon now sell it (with free delivery) for £2.33 a can. But instead of being marked "Super Mocne" (super strong), it is now marked "Slody Dymione" (smoked malts), so is it a change of marketing or a change in recipe?

Bought 6 cans of super t for a colleague down in Liverpool as he wanted to try it, think he was done after 3.

In the words of Dave Lister in Red Dwarf, after this he'll be saying ''I'm fine, i'm not pished''. All joking aside though, why do people question themselves when ''tolerating'' this beer or even saying it is nice, or there is some sort of stigma attached too these beers because of their strengths, yet i can go in too Tesco, pick up a Northern Monk Pale Ale or Beer at 8.2%, and nobody says a thing? Or Brewdogs Mr President that is ridiculously strong. In fact, in the aisle at Tesco, the IPA's and all the craft beers, i would say the weakest in terms of strength is around 6% and they go up and up. I don't get why drinking those these days is almost a fashion statement, but you drink a Special Brew that can be weaker! And you are almost looked upon like you have a problem? Society is weird.

Nice vid Simon thanks :) I'm not a fan of super strength lagers and it stems from a party I was invited to back in 1991. It was a bring your own beer type party and I knew the hosts (a lovely couple btw) liked a drop of lager, so I sought to impress them with 8 cans of Tenants Super. It started out ok, but sometime during the evening one of the hosts threw a raging tantrum and it led to an an almighty row between them. The rest of the partygoers (myself included) slinked out through the front door into the night leaving the mayhem behind. It was definitely the Super T that tipped the poor girl over the edge. I've never trusted the stuff since. Fair play to those that like and can take it, mind.

Late comment but I remember one called Crest in the late 90’s, I’m sure it was something like 9.5 abv. When I was skint I’d mix it with a weaker lager to make it more palatable or make snakebites with it. These days I don’t drink much but don’t mind the Polish lager called Perla, the green can version is okayish, the black can is what you would expect, a bit like Karpackie. Saying that my taste buds have probably gone, like yours are in the video 😂 Don’t know if you review cider but there is one sold in B&M Bargains called ‘Union Black’, it’s like Blackthorn on steroids.

A good review. However. You should never review a lager in an Ale pint glass? Almost always, there are no nucleation points cut into the bottom of the glass, meaning the carbonation, bubbles and head will decrease rapidly after just two minutes whereby affecting your experience of drinking the lager. There are some lagers that are specially brewed with a lower carbonation level, such as Cobra, but in general most are brewed with a high carbonation level. The need for the right glass to reflect the brewers intended finished product is paramount.

Carlsberg Spesh was my favourite drink to start a weekend night out in '90s. It was taxed on gravity 1.080-1.085 which as a home brewer meant 9% ABV. Tennents Super was it's Scottish competitor. I never liked it as much. I really liked the taste of all Carlsberg lagers back in the early '90s and they had something for everyone. Regular Carlsberg 3.5% for the women, Carlsberg Export 5% as a session beer, Special Brew 9% for the tramps and students, and my favourite was bottles of Carlsberg Elephant 7.5% at my favourite Indian restaurant (before that Cobra shit took over). It was perfect. Strong enough to enjoy, but not too much liquid to get in the way of a mountain of curry. It's sad to see the classic Spesh has been downgraded to a corner shop can of 7.5% and I have not seen a bottle of Elephant in decades in any BIR.

What i find mental is i can get all of these beers from my local corner shop, plus gold label, plus Tennants super and a few other very strong largers. Must just be the demographic of the area haha

These are all probably better than the cheap malt liquor beers sold in America.

Gulpener Gladiator beer 10% ABV. Although they call it an English barley wine there is really nothing barleywine-like about it, mind you. Not the easiest to drink but certainly not overly metallic like some of the very strong Euro Lagers. One of the better 'head banging' beers I have tried over the years. 🍻🍺Cheers!🍺🍻
