It's funny, the Dutch feel the same way about Heineken. They say it's brewed for Americans

It is. It’s all watered down. 7% alcohol here, 40% there...

40%? Not really, That is "80 proof whiskey"
The ABV on dutch beer seems to go from the US standard of 4-6% up to
as much as 15% but 10-12% seems to be the norm.

Yeast pretty much stops working at 10-12 % so they must be spiking the
beer or using some genetically modified yeast to get to 15%.

Here is a pretty good list of US beers

If you want more alcohol you need to buy malt liquor, really just the
legal term for a malt beverage that is higher than some state limits
for beer but some of these are really mixed drinks. (Grain alcohol,
water and flavoring). Malt beverage is a catch all for something that
is not wine and not distilled liquor.
