True but their Bitter & Twisted is reasonably priced as far as I remember.

But you're talking, what, 4.2%ish, against 6%. There's a lot more ingredients in the engine oil.

spot on

I would say their mash tun and system is designed for medium gravity ales a 6% beer is probably going to produce a smaller volume of wort

Looking at some reviews on BeerAdvocate many members felt it was over-rated too. I followed it with a Bitter & Twister from Harviestons as well which was superb as always.

Yup, me too. Just didn't do that much for me either.
I reckon Skullsplitter or Coopers Stout are a better and cheaper option or Gulden Draak for someting stronger.
