Which of the following styles has the highest ABV?

American Pale Ale
Doppelbock
Milk Stout
Saison

The correct answer is: Doppelbock

Doppelbock is known for its high alcohol content, typically ranging from 6.5% to 12% ABV, which is significantly higher than the other styles listed. This German beer style originated as a stronger version of traditional bock beers, and it was historically brewed by monks for sustenance during fasting periods. The other styles mentioned generally have a lower ABV. For example, American Pale Ales usually hover around 4.5% to 6.5% ABV, while Milk Stouts typically fall between 4% and 6% ABV, and Saisons can vary but usually range from around 5% to 8% ABV. Therefore, while these styles can vary in strength, none approach the upper ranges commonly found in Doppelbocks. This characteristic makes Doppelbock stand out as the style with the highest alcohol by volume.
