The mature character of Dębowe derives straight from the higher extract content (14.2% by weight), which makes it a beverage of the highest quality with rich flavour and aroma. Its unique taste, dark amber colour and naturally enhanced power will satisfy every mature connoisseur who enjoys tasting beer with no rush, yet with pleasure.
Alcohol content: 7%
Whatever...... it is a strong beer.
Late quote
The can says
piwo jasne 14.2%wag = Light beer 14.2% by weight
zawiera slod jeczmienny = contains slimy berries
Seems to be made from toasted malts and classed as a Euro Lager.

Why do doctors have to practice?
You'd think they'd have got it right by now
exactly, who knows what that higher extract content is? Obviously not alcohol, that much is certain though.
I think the key is do you like to drink it, if so who cares what's in it since we aren't really drinking that stuff to make ourselves healthier. Although after a 10k run a beer can replace some of the things that we sweat out, 2 or more beers does not mean you get more of the good stuff in you though.
Chris does not want a beer to be too strong so yes it matters what's in it. At least up to a certain point. I think the 14.2% is purely there to distract people into thinking that beer is extremely heavy. Marketing.

Being a Polish beer the can is not surprisingly printed in Polish, which of course Poles will be able to read and understand. The problem occurs when it is exported into the UK and we cannot understand the Polish language. Then again someone that professes to know something about beer should have known that 14% was simply not right and taken a second look at the can. It says "7% alkohol obj." which should have been enough of a clue even if you don't know Polish.
OK, I have just gone to the shop and bought a 500ml can of this damn stuff!!! (£1.25). First impressions are quite favourable for taste, more sweetish than bitter, no particular hoppy or malty nose. or aftertaste, but I would be wary of drinking too many beers at 7%.
I think I'll stick to my Warka at 5.6% :-)

World's Strongest Beer, brewed in Speyside Scotland
Sweet, nutty aroma, a fruity flavour and fiery, intense finish.
Complete with warning notice
Enjoy in small measures of 35ml. Please enjoy responsibly
At 67.5% ABV and £45 a 330ml bottle, (Bottles only sold singly) that is just ridiculous to call it a beer. One does not drink beer out of wineglasses at any price.
As a very rough guide, beers generally range from 4% to 10%, wine 12-14%, Gin 37-45%, whisky 40-60%, Polish Vodka 60-90%. There are likely exceptions out there.
p.s. in the UK Spirits used to be commonly served in 25ml measures, which are one unit of alcohol, many pubs and bars now serve in 35ml or 50ml measures, i.e. small or large. The large measure hasn't changed but the small went up by 30%.
Jameson of course is an Irish Whiskey. I can only drink Scottish whisky with water, but I quite like a Jamesons with ice.
An aperitif is used to prepare the stomach for food, Gin or vodka are aperitifs, Pastis (aniseed) is popular in France. A digestif is taken after a meal to aid digestion, Jagermeister is a digestif. The main difference is the sweetness of the beverage, dry before a meal to stimulate the palate, and sweet after the meal.
The Americans call spirits liquor, hence liquor store, but many people get confused with liqueur. A liqueur is a spirit that has been flavoured with fruit, herbs or spices. Typical examples are Advocaat, Cointreau, Drambuie, Grand Marnier. It was quite common in Edwardian times after an evening meal for the Ladies to repare to the Drawing room for coffee and liqueurs and the men to the study for cigars and more port before carriages. But we are talking over 100 years ago, times have moved on somewhat!
p.p.s. If it is distilled in Scotland it is called whisky. If it is distilled elsewhere e.g. Ireland or the USA it is called whiskey with an e. Scotch is the generic name for all of them, and the Americans have a version called Bourbon.

After trying several types of wine, including a different label pink moscato, and not liking any of them, I bought another of the pink I did like before. I'm drinking it right now and not really enjoying it. I think this will be the end of my experiments with wine.

Nah, I rather have a normal beer, and for stronger stuff will switch to things like Jameson, Jagermeister or vodka.
