Labatt also had a strong one called Maximum Ice but I don't think it was actually that strong compared to XXX but I could be wrong. A friend of mine used to drink Labatt Wildcat Strong which was 6.1% but as cheap as any 5% discount brand.
I'm OK with beers in the 5.5-7ish% ABV range but anything above that is just too strong to be enjoyable for me. Not a fan of Fin du Monde...had it a couple of times in my younger days for the novelty but I would never buy it now. If I just want alcohol there's always vodka instead.

Also, I see that people love to dump on Coors Light but man, when you've been doing some work outside on a hot day, a cold one just goes down great.
