Now that's not to say there aren't those out there, and yes, I agree. When the alcohol overwhelms the rest of the beer it's not nearly as enjoyable.

Avery makes some great beer, and their Demon series is very well crafted. Had the Samael's recently, an awesome old ale. My hats off to craft breweries that can get the ABV up there while preserving the taste & style of beer. It's really tough (and expensive) to do.
