MORAY brewery Brewmeister have set the record for the world’s strongest beer for a second time, with their 67.5% brew called ‘Snake Venom’.

 

According to the tasting notes on the brewery website, Snake Venom is “hoppy, malty and very pleasant”

 

I am not sure how pleasant a 67.5% beer would be.

It's almost the proof of Bacardi 151, which if you ever had straight could curl your hair... But if the malt stands up, perhaps there's a chance it tastes like a huge blown out beer..... Seems pretty gimmicky...

Ahh, so that's why I had curly hair in college.

you freeze the beer at some point, or points, during the brewing process and remove the ice that is made which is essentially just water. this increases the alcohol content as ethanol has a lower freezing point than water
