strong for a beer to me is about 9.5-10% I've had homebrew that's been over 26%, too.

If you can ever get your hands on it, and like ales at all, try golden monkey, brewed by Victory, a small PA brewery. Kinda yeasty, but a nice taste and a lot of vitamin E as I understand yeast tends to contain? Its gonna rack you close to 50 bucks a case if you ever even find it outside of PA, but, i find it incredible.

That shit gets me loopy after 5 and I'm a half-a-case a night kinda guy.
