Wikipedia

  1. stingo

    Strong ale is a type of ale, usually above 5% abv and often higher, between 7% to 11% abv, which spans a number of beer styles, including old ale, barley wine and Burton ale. Strong ales are brewed throughout Europe and beyond, including in England, Belgium and the United States. "Scotch ale" was first used as a designation for strong ales exported from Edinburgh in the 18th century. Scotch ale is sometimes conflated with the term "wee heavy", as both are used to describe a strong beer. Beers brewed in the US under the name "wee heavy" tend to be 7% abv and higher, while Scottish-brewed examples, such as Belhaven's Wee Heavy, are between 5.5% and 6.5% abv. McEwan's Scotch Ale is also 8% abv.
