I also believe that Grand Ridge Supershine recently took out the word title in it's category. Mighty tasty too I got a sample as the Good Food & Wine Festival :)

Either way thanks for the input, barley wine is one of the styles I like to brew.
My quest is to see who does the the ass kicker commercial Aussie beer.
Feck if we are stuck at the sub 16% we don't rate globally .

Haha true, but is it about highest ABV%, it could taste like a chemical lab and be 20%, or it could taste nice like plum pudding and cherries and be 15%. I know which I'd prefer!! Definitely rate the Grand Ridge for you to try even if it ain't the highest :)

No , I tasted some big beers that have been very smooth and lesser beers that have tasted boozy.
I would like to make a big beer so some taste testing is required.

Strongest mainstream conglomerate readily avaliable beer would be Southwark Stout
 
I know it is not Australian but i nearly fell of my bar stool when i spotted this bad boy on the beer menu at the local pub i would love to try it but at $260 a stubbie i don't know if it will be anytime soon.

I drank something on tap at The Alehouse in Melbourne a while back, it was around the 16% mark, but can't remember who made it.
Tasted shit and I didn't finish it. Not a patch on the Temple barley wine I was drinking prior.

I know this is not up in the HIGH alc list, but had a taste a little while ago and thought it was great. Bit over-priced for my mind though: https://www.danmurphys.com.au/product/DM_757736/nail-clout-stout-russian-imperial-stout-750ml


Good luck with the tasting, sounds like a tough gig :D

Does Temple do Barley wine in a Bottle, if so I will try and get one ?
Had a customer give me a bottle of his Old Ale , OMG it was great :wub: trying to get the recipe from him .

Sorry Nev, I have no idea. Might be worth contacting them.
I was drinking it on tap at the brewery. This was before they closed, then re-opened.

Combine that with the taste of feet and the aroma of sick and you've got a Moondog beer.
 
Nev, I asked the craft beer enthusiasts group on Facebook and Jumping The Shark is the biggest one thats been bottled that we've come up with.

There are a few noteble mentions around the 10-11% range including Auora Australis which is brewed here and shipped to Norway in red wine barrels to be bottled. It's amazing.
 
Haha. That's the one I brought around ages ago. The cognac barrel aged truffled RIS. I've got one left under the stairs...
