In England they sell Carlsburg Special Brew which used to take people by surprise as it was 9% proof. In fact, I think the government forced the brewery to reduce the alcohol content, as too many people were thinking,"Well it's just beer, how strong can it be?"

No kidding. I'm also buying the Carlsberg Special Brew in Malaysia, it used to be 8.8 now it's down to 6.5%. I thought it was just because it's a Muslim country and they're doing their best to prohibit alcohol in general.
In Italy I used to drink the Moretti Double Malt at 7%, Duvel is at 8.5% and is great, most trappist beers are at 7-8, anything more than 9% starts tasting like medicinal alcohol.
