Also noted with some trepidation that the site lists Hevelius Kaper as
6.8% ABV instead of the 9.1% I'd thought it was. We're more interested in
the flavor and the memories of Poland than the high alcohol content, but
with such a big difference, I fear they may simply have the wrong beer.

Might be a simple confusion over measurement units: the US use ABW
(alcohol by weight) whereas the rest of the world, including Europe,
uses ABV (alcohol by volume). = ABW = 0.794 x ABV
9 percent ABV means something like 7.1 percent ABW, which would not
necessarily be very far off the mark. )
