Ah so. Advice from strangers, it's as bad as arguing over the internet

I think he was referring to the Dragon's Milk-

Most stouts and porters are lower in alcohol, but not that one!

Like I said, it's too creamy for me, but I've been finding that even stuff like Burning River and Honkers Ale is becoming too sweet as well, so maybe my tastes are changing.
It didn't taste very strong (unusual for a strong beer imo) but I made the SO drive when I left.

That stuff has added sugar, a brewing practice common among the Belgian Ales. It jacks up the ABV and imparts a candy sweetness. I'm generally not big on amped up sweet beers of this ilk, though they can be nice split between a couple of people out of a brandy snifter.

I'm pretty sure all the mass produced beers have either rice or corn sugar added, that's how they cut costs. The best evidence of this is to brew your own beer with 100% grain. You can't possibly make anything that tastes as crappy as Bud or Miller.
How sweet the beer is depends on how much they add, and how much the yeast eats up before it dies. Most beer yeasts can't survive in an alcohol content much above 5%.
Strong beers and barelywines use wine yeasts, which can survive up to about 12%.

I guess that makes me a high rolling snob, I normally stock my fridge with Silver Bullets.
Just never could acquire a taste for O'Doul's.
