Tactical Nuclear Penguin

So... at the behest of Occasional Reader Virgil Xenophon we went looking for this:



And found it, obviously.  Interesting, eh?  I can't imagine a beer with an ABV of 32%.  I used to drink a particularly strong ale barley wine at The Royal Standard of England (my favorite pub in all the world, but leave us not digress) that went by the name of Owd Roger.  About which, this:
Owd Roger is an infamous dark barley wine with a vinous bouquet - and an ABV of 7.6 per cent. It is so strong that, way-back-when, it was only served in halves. It was first brewed 400 years ago at The Royal Standard of England. When I last drank here, the innkeeper used to challenge all-comers to drink four pints, then run round a tree in the car park. If they didn't fall over, the next pint was on him. His profits were safe. No one ever made it back to the bar. And some are still running. Legend has it that one drinker ended up in Bekonscot, the oldest model village in the world, where miniature horses hunt for a miniature fox. After four pints of Owd Roger, such sights can tip a man over ... 
I think Owd Roger has been dumbed down since it was taken over by Marston.  Legend has it (and that legend exists primarily in my own mind) that when Owd Roger was brewed on-prem at the RSOE it was something like 16% ABV.  I know fer sure that two pints were enough to ensure The Second Mrs. Pennington was gonna do the driving when we left the pub...
